What is it about cycling challenges? - You know when someone idly mentions an (invariably stupid) idea along the lines of "Hey - let's cycle from A to B" (A & B usually being either distant from each other/seperated by crazy terrain or both!), Well there i was minding my own, when my mate Simon suggests that we do another Coast to Coast - but this time from the most westerly point to the most easterly point of england i.e. Lands End, Cornwall to Ness Point in Lowestoft or LENP for short.
In under 24 hours we had both independently scoped out a rough idea of a route and attempted to assign a number of days to it all - 430 - 460miles ish so between 5 & 7 days i reckon? Just need to book it in the diary then and decide which way we want to travel!
The other alternative is that seeing as we will be in the area anyway, is to incorporate the most southerly point - Lizard Point in Cornwall which from a mnemonic point of view makes it LELPNP or a working title for now could be"Coast to Coast via all points South of North" - ok not really snappy but as i say it is a working title.
As for the Huff and Puff - see below, still deciding whether to do it or not as although i am back on the bike with avengeance (140miles last week) have a sore muscle behind my left knee which admittedly whilst cycling feels ok but don't really want to aggravate it un-necessarily - so do you follow your head or your heart - answers on a postcard please...
