On Saturday June 25th I am going to cycle 150 miles (240 kilometres) in one day with colleagues from Mars. The journey starts in Seascale on the west coast and finishes in Whitby on the east coast. Key features are Hardknott Pass with gradients of up to 30%. The rest of the route won't be flat either. We are expecting to clock up a total of 4500 metres of ascend. It will probably take us 15 hours to complete the challenge and cause some serious soreness in our leg muscles and other body parts.
