Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm thinking about planning a ride from coast to coast and back again in a day. Is there an established route for this?
The map on here - http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/ - suggests Whitehaven to Tynemouth. At 140 miles x 2, it might be a little ambitious - how hilly is the route? What sort of average speed is likely to be possible?
Any tips greatly appreciated. I'm planning to go and stay somewhere with family and do the ride in a day with my brother in law and stay in the area for a few days, so a decent start/finish place for families with kids is important.
