The weather may remind me of the ill-fated adventure to ride the Coast 2 Coast in June, but I still managed to get out on my bike today, as I enjoyed a day off work.
Despite the wind and the odd shower it was good to get out and cover just over ten miles in an hour. I would have gone on longer, but it's been a while so didn't want to push too much.
It's during the upcoming cold and dark winter nights that I'll sit with Neil and Pad to plan the next attempt at doing the Coast 2 Coast.
I figure that we'll do exactly the same as last time and even stay in the same places, just be flexible about the dates depending on the weather.
Reading the reports that future summers will probably be very wet, leads to me to think April might be the best time to do it again. Then again the old adage about April showers could be a wise thing to take note of.
Although this journey is for Pads, Neil and I, other people are welcome to join us. I'll post details once we confirm dates and book accommodation so feel free to come along for the ride - just bring plenty of warm and waterproof clothing!
It looks like I'll be involved with professional cycling to a degree through work, so over the next few months I'm hoping to get some tips from the professionals about training, in preparation for next year.
Whether they can help me overcome age and the unpredictable weather is a question I daren't answer!
