Not sure what the C2C included? I assumed it was all road?

If theres any serious off road you'll need a hardtail MTB, if its light tracks/towpaths, then a hybrid will be okay.

If its all road then a road bike will be ideal.

My road bike is for sale btw.

Says something along the lines of

"15 miles in 40 minutes 10 seconds..... lap time 3 minutes 2 seconds"

You can turn it off, i have it on loud in my back pocket of my cycling jersey so i know how fast im doing my miles
