THE 2013 RIDE IS BOOKED

So Easter weekend produced no riding due to family commitments and the weather not being great, but one thing has progressed during these holidays.

The 2013 C2C bike ride for Cancer Research is now booked. Pads, Neil, Ian and I will be negotiating the course from Whitehaven to Tynemouth in early July and hoping for better weather than last year.

We’ve delayed it a further two weeks from the 2012 dates in the hope that July has good weather this year, but only time will tell if we get decent conditions.

The accommodation and people I spoke to today booking it were all lovely to deal with and it was great to know people still go that extra mile to help you.

If anyone reading this is thinking of any accommodation to stay during the C2C then you should consider these four options:

Whitehaven – Glenard Guest House
Troutbeck – Gill Head Farm
Renwick – Scalehouse Farm
Rookhope – The Rookhope Inn

Anyone wanting further information on any of these places, or others that I have tried, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post.

So now we’ve booked it the training and further fundraising starts. All the money goes direct to Cancer Research and here’s where you can donate – Just Giving donation page

Any financial contribution is very much appreciated although simply telling someone about this blog and the donation website is more than enough.

I’ll update once more training is done and hopefully spring is with us!
