Hey guys!!

I am going to be doing a charity cycle in a few months from Manc to Liverpool following the transpennine trail, I was hoping to get some info as to what im letting myself into. Is it hilly? Im not an athlete but can cover the 40 odd miles i figure if i get a heads up as to whats coming to me i wont be shocked when i get there.

Any info on the trail would be great!

    Most of it is flat as flat can be as it follows the river then the canals.

    Hey guys! I did the cycle on Sunday and finished it in 3.10 hrs I was wondering, in your opinion (be it harsh or not) whether thats a pretty respectable time? Bearing in mind i was hoping for around 4 hours im over the moon with this. But would just like an outside perspective on the time.
