NHPC C2C

Post by John Wallis »

The long range forecast is looking good for the weekend's C2C but it's probably going to be some of the best flying weather for ages too :x :x :x

Can we do it in one day so we can fly the weekend :twisted:

which Bike should I use????
I have an old mountain Bike tried and tested with good knobbly tyres for the off road bits and a very good low gear for the hills

I also have a much newer road hybrid type bike but it has skinny tyres and not as low a bottom gear but it is very light and overall a better bike but ive never done a long ride on it

cant make my mind up :???: :???: :???: :???: :???:

:idea: tried and tested

:idea: take a chance

my brain hurts :???: :???: :???: :x :x :x

I've just been out for my first training run, only about 5 miles but hey, I'm ready for it, can't wait.

ps, for anyone staying at the hostel, i don't think they provide towels.

From what I can gather I think there is about 33 going. on the C2C, I could be wrong— It could be more.

PS. As I understand it, from, Bill Scott the brilliant organiser of the C2C, the finishing line just happens to be in front of the
"Pitch and Piano" on the quay side, we might be going in for a small,Sherry.
The Finishing Line will be between the, Club Wind Blades.
All are,Wellcome, 4.ish pm.!!!

That was a great weekend, sorry I had to duck out the deserved celebrations at the Tyne as a surprise visitor arrived at home. Thanks to Bill and Chris for the organising
