c2c this weekend plus an attempt on Hardknott Pass
« on: 08 July, 2013, 01:19:03 am »
Hi guys, this Friday me a few mates set off to Whitehaven to ride the Coast to Coast (Whitehven - Alston - Tynemouth) in 2 days. As a bonus, on the way up we though it'd be a good idea to arrive via Hardknott Pass so had a try riding up that - my word it's steep! An AVERAGE 30% gradient... I didn't manage to cycle up in one go and had to push on some of the steeper sections (as i was pulling wheelies putting the power down uphill!). The Whinlatter Pass and the Hartside Pass were all tackled in one go. Pictures here if it works! - www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151440659196571.1073741826.706981570&type=1&l=0b86dd5575 Cheers,Hayden.
