spent the weekend cycling the way of the roses - a cycle route from morecambe bay on the north west coast of england to bridlington on the north east. i don't do a lot of cycling so this was definitely a hefty challenge - there are a few climbs inbetween the two places! but it was stunning especially through the dales and we had wind, rain, sun and everything inbetween thrown at us (and a couple of punctures). jen has posted a photo set here. the one above is me at the top of the biggest climb out of settle (that i confess i had to walk up some of)! the trip was organised by amos trust road club with around 40 of us...
Did it three years ago and really enjoyed it! If it's confession time, the Settle hill got me too. Just done Newcastle to Edinburgh and can highly recommend it - even the walking bits!
