Forgot to add this... we did the C2C in a day. I was/am raising money in support of Sheffield's "Team Molly" in memory of Molly Midgley-Hellend. You can still reward my considerable efforts with your sponsorship. Thank you.
I am going to return my 🚴🏻♀️ back to my previous level for a while now.

Another C2C in-a-day Friday update.
Pre-planned route to the East was a better plan.
106 miles with one cake (Southwell) and a Magnum (Creswell Crags) (+ other stuff I took).
The breezy weather was a bit of a pain!
Coinfidence level = reasonable. 😎

Friday "C2C in-a-day update".
D-Day is 22 days 😱
Another ride in the sunshine.
Took a random route to to highest point of the Trans Pennine Trail. I had to fiddle and faff about to get up to 100 miles 😎, but I made it.
Komoot cut off at 100 🤔
Luckily I am getting my hair cut tomorrow!

Got a longer ride in today. It was a bit warm out there. Note to self: preplan your route for a better experience. I found myself heading south, so to speak. Still I found some good GF cake!

Got a great 🚴🏻♀️ ride in today in the spring sunshine although I struggled to find 🍰 when I really needed it.
Pleased to have got well over half the C2C distance in even though it was not over half the climbing☹️.

Yesterday was cake day at @ShefUni_ClinMed in aid of www.dec.org.uk
I had my new birthday shirt to wear. Nice eh?
(That's not to say that cakes are only for birthdays or even that it was my birthday)

So I have set June 13th as the date for 🚴♀️ the Whitehaven to Tynemouth C2C route. 137 miles give or take and I am thinking it will be around 12 hours in the saddle? I will be on the look out for sponsorship no doubt closer to the time.
