Managed 40 miles the day but still rough from the vaccine, so was a slog. Didn't help that it was sopping wet and with a brutal head wind mind. Lost most of my progress so a bit fed up at the mo.

That was a decent effort in the circumstances. The secret is not too push yourself to hard when trying to comeback, good rest is just as important, especially if you've been I'll
 
Went out for a good ride for a couple of hours today. Took a book so I could stop and read at intervals and got chatting to an elderly chap who used to teach history and recognised the book I had. Very interesting conversation.

What was the book?
 
Planning, well not planning actually. Just decided,as i have the chance of a lift to Whitehaven tomorrow, to attempt the C2C. I say attempt as I'm not expecting to finish it. Question is, what do you folks take for "proper food" on a long ride? Have energy gels,bars etc. Just wondering what's best to eat?

Certain dirty bastards on here ( and you were with us I seem to recall) were necking pork pies on the C2C in a day

Suppose there will be places on the way you can stop for proper food, not Hartside Cafe unfortunately

I've just checked the weather. Should have planned better. Going to be a scorcher. :cry:
