Well that's is it's all over Devon didn't beat us Cumbria didn't beat us and Scotland certainly didn't beat us !! 960.46 miles in 15 days we started on the 4th sept and I suppose the weather was fairly good to us apart from the hurricane anyone thi boing of doing it make sure you train it helped me do it more comfortably . The ctc route is a little strange In parts and you need a mountain bike for some roads on a whole it was a great experience but no leaves me asking what next ????? Route 66

Hi folks plans are now well under way hopefully staying free at army bases ect then from Chester onwards we are hiring a camper 6 birth my wife will be doing the driving for the last leg we are taking the yha route and taking 15 days to ride it as it's gonna be a holiday of sorts too so if any of you that have replied and are still interested feel free to call me and we can have a futher chat about It
