Blackpool to Brighton on a Bike: Day 1

Good morning all, After a day of travelling up to Blackpool via a taxi, train and coach. The time has finally come to actually start to cycle! So with a little trepidation we begin the short 1.3 mile trip from our hotel to our official start point: Blackpool North Pier.

Thanks again so much to Ashcroft hotel for giving us our room and breakfast!

Today we plan to cycle about 80 miles and are going through Blackpool, Preston, a handful of towns and loads of villages. From our journeys to the Blackpool the hills don't look too bad but all we can do is hope!

I'll update the blog tonight but in the meantime I'll be tweeting bits and bobs. @MileleCharity

Thanks, Rich
