3 weeks and counting!

So the big day is not too far away now and the training has been alittle none exsistent of late. Must try harder.
Having just moved house last weekend i've been struugling to get out on the bike recently and my training in the gym has been none exsistent. Im away on a course this weekend as well so wont get a long ride in before the Richmond next week. Planning on taking part in the Richmond 5 Dale 100 Mile Sportive next Saturday as the last big training ride before the C2C.

So it was lovely night last night got straight home from work and got out as quick as I could.
I have now moved to Elwick village on the outskirts of Hartlepool so no longer have to cycle out of town through trafficwhich makes a massive difference.

Headed out from Elwick towards Hart via High Throston, onto Wingate and then towards Trimdon Station, From here I went alittle off plan and found myself with a stiff little climb up to Quarryington Hill that I have never done before, then onto a quick run down out of Coxhoe,turning left at the bottom for the horrible drag and awful road on the way to Sedgefield. Once into Sedgefield I turned again towards Fishburn and then I got a little lost taking a turning that I thought would have me heading for the A19 crossing to Elwick but insteaded ended up doubling back towards the A689 to Sedgefield. Quick turn around and I was back on track, climbed up towards Trimdon before a fast run in towards Hurworth Burn and over the A19 to Elwick.
