C2C Cycle Challenge 2010 | In aid of RNLI

C2C Cycle Challenge

Good Luck and Refreshments

Good luck tomorrow everyone.

You may be thirsty or hungry en route and if any of you fancy stopping off or refreshments here are a few pointers:

Saturday

Lorton: there's a little shop in the village just before the first big climb (Whinlatter). There's also Winder Hall, where you can get a cuppa and a tasty food fix (in splendid surroundings).

At the top of Whinlatter there's the visitor centre.

Keswick: lots of choice here.

Greystoke (mile-marker 46) is a pleasant place to stop off, six miles short of Penrith and about 24 miles from Alston. We thoroughly recommend Annie's Cycle Cafe and the Boot and Shoe pub.

At the top of Hartside is the famous cafe with its breathtaking views.

Sunday

Nenthead (mile-marker 80) - Miner's Arms is a favoured C2Cers watering hole, offering snacks and hot drinks.

Allenheads Inn (mile-marker 87)

Parkhead (mile-marker 99). Excellent cafe bang on the route. It's all (more or less) downhill from here!

Check out the Coast to Coast Guide for further options or www.c2c-guide.co.uk. Sustrans maps (£6.99) and Coast to Coast Cycle Routes (£9.99) will be on sale during the trip for those with a thirst for further homework.

Good luck and look forward to seeing you there. And please remember that there will be lots of other cyclists on the route. If you wear your C2C commemorative t-shirts you'll easily be able to spot fellow cyclists from our 200-strong pack.
