Some nice rides/ reads there. The Peaks are definitely worth a visit, I wasn't too far from Hebden Bridge over the weekend, and 190km of coastal destinations sounds like a top theme for a long trip.
Me, I'm all done now. Yesterday's ride from Hexham to the borders was ace, miles and miles of rolling ups and downs with barely a sharp turn in sight. Each successful ascent made visible the next section of some very inviting road. I'm sorry that I didn't have a camera with me.
Borders to Edinburgh was less interesting, just a functional spin along the A7, a gentle descent made frustratingly slow by a strong headwind.
Top ride, that, in fact I don't think I could have asked for much more from it. The good bits were right on the money, the bad bits were entirely par for the course, and Saturday was just bonkers.

I'm now experiencing a bit of a come down.
