On what was one of the worst weather days so far this year Nick headed to the start line of Trans England at 22:00 on a Friday evening to complete a transit of England across the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, covering 160 miles and 5000 m elevation gain.

Trans England is an unsupported bike ride from the west of England starting in Morecombe over to the east of England in Scarborough. The format of the race is to pass through six check points peppered across the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. It’s up to each rider to decide what route to take between each checkpoint with the option to take gravel shortcuts over the top of the dales and moors to cut down on the overall distance.

A full write up of the ride is available here.
