Might pop over for this, it's been a while.

OK, does that mean you had a tail wind, or is it changeable?
Did you camp or use hostels?

Good morning, has any one on here tried the Second City Divide? https://www.secondcitydivide.cc/

Can't see any posts about if but I have thought someone has some experience of it.

I'm looking at doing it May, Ive found people doing it in 5 days but I'm thinking of doing it in 4. (albeit to Wigan)

My rough plan is: I don't know if average KPH is wildly optimistic or not.

Day 1 Glasgow (Leave at 11:00 am) to Bothy @ Talla Linnfoots 130km
Night 1 Bothy 130km
9 hours cycling @ 15 kph

Food - Abington General Store 96 km

Day two Bothy to Alston - 170km
10 hours at 17 kph
Night 2 Hostel 300km

Maybe Food - Church hall at 210 km
Emergency food at pull off at 211 km down to Newcastleton

Food: Haltwhistle 280km Alston 300 km

Day 3 Alston to Ingleton - 136km
10 hours at 14 kph
Night 3 Ingleton 436 km

Day 4 Ingleton to Wigan 135km
10 hours at 14 kph
Colne = 500km

Thought very much appreciated (or pointers to somewhere better to ask for advice)

your gonna have to zoom out on this one. Looks like a cat to me...?

Hmm this is a tricky one

I agree, their company will still make money for years to come but they did very well from everyone being stuck at home during lock down.

I glad I sold these a few weeks ago. Although my bet on real life gyms has yet to pay off...

Any spare Bidons?

Looks like tomorrow could be another interesting day.

I would avoid tow paths for leisure activities if at all possible.
They are very narrow in places and it is impossible to keep the recommend safe distances.
There are quite a few signs up from boaters asking people to only use the tow path for access to boats.
I would normally run along the tow path but started running on streets. The pavements are wider and much quieter.

Also +1 for the Cobble monster route.

I'm in for Zoom

Wanted, 172.5mm GXP crankset, something like Omnium would be a dream but open to other options.

Are your old 170s for sale?

Very much open to any ideas. Trains back in should be fairly quiet, maybe we should pack a train disinfection kit.
