Guys, Coast to Coast advice please

myself and several friends are doing this over 2 days in early June, will my bike be ok or do I need a gravel bike?


I would also appreciate any hints or tips.
thanks Andy

If you can do 50 miles, two days will be fine and enjoyable! Include some long hills in your training, if you can.

Watch out when you get to Consett, I was too busy playing silly buggers and racing’ my pal through a section of cycle track that weaves snake like between some grass banks... as I turned to look over my shoulder I missed the concrete bollard helpfully placed in the middle of the track. Or rather I didn’t miss it and hit it square on.

If you find my broken molar on the track, can you send it back pls?

Sure you will love it. A proper MAMIL adventure!

went past that spot yesterday
