As we announced briefly last time, Jonathan and Sonny are doing a sponsored Coast to Coast bike ride helping to raise money for The Alzheimer’s Society. They are doing the Northern route with a group of fellow Denplan dentists and are training to get ready for the challenge. Especially since everyone they have spoken to about the route has laughed and wished them luck…! It includes Hardknott Pass which is known as one of Britain’s most challenging roads. This single track road right through the middle of the Lake District National Park, is a series of sharp and narrow hairpin bends. It’s said to be the steepest road in England with a gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%). Should be a lovely view on the way up, apart from the struggling cyclists!
