Cycling far from Old Buckenham

Riding for fun

Francis Darrah and his son Hugh have been in training since the start of this year for a challenge later this month. They have covered about 600 miles cycling around Norfolk before travelling the 160 miles from Morecombe to near Whitby (their own version of The Coast to Coast) over four days. They will be staying in bed and breakfasts along the way and are hoping for a westerly wind and just the right amount of sun.

Training in Norfolk for the hills of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors shouldn’t really work but they seem to have had a head winds for most of the 600 miles of training rides so maybe they’ll be OK. And they are not raising money but just doing it for the fun of it!
