Day 4: 2nd Sep
If yesterday was a lesson in contingency, today was a lesson in complacency. Still sore from 50 miles up, down and over the Pennines, I began to treat this as a rest day. 30 miles along the flat was nothing compared to yesterday’s ordeal, but it was still a 30 mile bike ride! I also…

Day 3: 1st Sep
I always knew this would be a day of ups and downs, but I probably didn’t expect the emotional rollercoaster as well. It was to be a lesson in planning, in having contingency plan A, plan B, plan C, and knowing when to put them in to action! When I mentioned at Faireys which bands…

Day 2
Well there’s a day I won’t forget. Everyone loves a twist in the tale don’t they? Just as you think things are reaching a happy ending there’s dramatic cliffhanger to send the story in a whole different direction. Downton Abbey has nothing on this! This comes to you all a day late, since I disappeared…

Day 1
Getting soaked for charity seems to be a bit of a craze at the moment so it’s appropriate that I began my ride riding into driving rain coming in off the Irish Sea. The pictures I took at the start were just before this deluge hit. No sooner had I packed my phone away I…

Apart…

Checkpoints
Riding a long trail presents all kinds of challenges; of weather, fitness, equipment, nutrition, navigation, and no doubt more I shall discover along the way. But to add the challenge, I’ve set myself a tight schedule of visits along route. These visits will be checkpoints for the ride. You may wish to sponsor me based…

#TPTsolo – training
“It’s not training if it’s not raining”. I heard that once somewhere, it seems fairly appropriate today. Some well timed Northern weather has descended on London to give me a go in the wet. No doubt I’ll be facing similar conditions along the way – I’ll be going past Manchester after all. I have no…

#TPTsolo – why
I am riding the Trans Pennine Trail for three main reasons. Firstly, it is something I’ve been meaning to do for many years since I lived very close by to it in Stockport. I met a man there once who was riding it in its entirety, section by section over various weekends. It sounded like a…
