Morning all,
I'm doing the C2C route from Workington to Sunderland in early september on my own over 3 days. Its my first time attempting a multi day ride on my own but I feel pretty good about it all in all. I've trained quite a bit over the last few months and have lost almost 2 stone and increased my fitness considerably. I rode the south downs way 2 years ago over 3 days with my 2 brothers and though it was pretty tough in places we got through it and i feel like I'm fitter now so hopefully the C2C route will be no worse than that (especially considering its more paved and I'm on a gravel bike with thinner tires etc).
I've bought a garmin edge 530 to help with the navigation but am unsure of the best way to get the route loaded on to it. Can anyone advise how to go about this please?
Any other C2C or touring advice is also most welcome (no need for anything camping related as im staying in pubs / B&B's on the route).
Thanks in advance.
