Day 2 of our ride from Hartlepool to Hastings and the optimism is already wearing thin. After a rough night of wild camping, we were praying for flat roads and friendly vibes on the way to York…
Instead, we got relentless hills, rude drivers who don’t know how to say “thank you,” and some serious questioning of our life choices.
🚴 Expect:
Regrettable camping decisions
A full-body workout thanks to the undulating roads
Passive-aggressive silence from every passing car
Laughter, complaining, and just enough pedal power to keep us going

📍 Start: Hartlepool
📍 Finish Goal: Hastings
🚴 Total Distance: About 400 miles. Allegedly.
