Dave's "Way of the Roses" Challenge '15/'16 | |||||||
|
In late August 2003 I decided to start training to do the
original 135 mile c2c route
now that I had a decent bike to do it on, I intend originally to do the c2c
trip in 2004 Whitehaven and finish at Roker,, and hopefully to do it in 2 or
3 days Unfortunately I took ill with a bad stomach (I.B.S.) which made
it impossible for some years to even think of doing the challenge. In
2009 me the guys at work decided to give the c2c challenge a go in 2010 as a
charity ride, unfortunately which never materialised.
September 2010 saw the opening of a brand new coast to
coast challenge, "The Way of the Roses" Starting from Morecambe and
finishing in Bridlington, Shortly after the opening my Dad (Tony) saw a
couple who looked around his age just finishing the Way of the Roses
challenge. He went and had a chat with this couple, they had set out to do
it in 5 days but completed it in 4 days, This must have really inspired him,
as he asked me if I would ride the Way of the Roses with him in 2012,
possibly in September although no exact date is fixed at time of writing
this.
