Anybody done this on a sport flat bar thing with skinny tyres? (my bike)

Not strictly commuting, but I am a commuter.
Technically I shall be leaving home, go cycling for three days, then go home then ride to work, so it's just one long commute.

Have fun on Hartside, and the climb above Stanhope, and look out for the crosswinds on the exposed high ground above Consett.
Have fun.
Only met one other group going east to west. Perhaps they hadn't read this advice either (I can confirm the bit about the wind is true):
"The route is best ridden from West to East to take advantage of the prevailing winds (supposedly!) from the West as well as having the gradients in your favour, i.e. short uphills and long downhills"
Also there is a c2c forum which might be of interest

I'll be doing the C2C this summer on a fully laddened cross bike with my wife on her mtb and my 9 and 11 yrs olds on their flat-bar Islabikes. We are just going to take it easy and spread it over 5 days. This was my 11yr olds idea !
Should be fun

If you haven't tried these things, you should.
These things are fun, and fun is good.
