Hi all, the Coast to Coast on a fixie ride was this weekend just gone. Dave completed the whole side to side but I missed 100 miles due to my knee quitting on me. The annoying thing was it was the flat bit it finally quit on.
3 good days, day 1 (Pembroke to Hereford) was the hardest with 190kms and 1400+m of climbing, day 2 (Hereford to Milton Keynes) was easier with 193km but only about 790+m of climbing, day 3 (Northampton to Great Yarmouth)I only did 50km but Dave did 205km. No punctures, no mechanicals, decent weather, not bad in all.
Worst bit for me was actually going downhill on fixed and I think that was what did the knee in, uphills and the flattish bits were good.
We have the gpx files should anyone else want to do any of the route.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
