Hi all,
I'm thinking of suggesting a long distance sponsored bike ride to a colleague. Possibly Leeds to Edinburgh.
We've both just got back into cycling again. He has a road bike and an off road bike. I have a Specialized CrossTrail Sport.
Any hints and tips or links for a long distance beginner would be greatly appreciated. (I think there should be a sticky for this kind of thing in an ideal world)
What kind of training regime would you recommend?
Is there anywhere online that does cycle specific route finding?
Will I get away with doing it on my hybrid or should I consider getting a road bike?
Thanks
James
