Aye, the fens were so incredibly tough. A mix of the scenery not changing for what was nearing 200km, the lack of hedgerows and then occasional gravel stretches, which got on my nerves. I was riding relatively quick given the flatness, but it psychologically felt like I was standing still.
I rode to Gent last year for the 6 day, and the terrain reminded me a lot of that bit of Northern Belgium. Getting excited about a slight left turn, 70km ahead
The 24 hour McDs - was that the one on Ollerton roundabout? Yep, that properly saved me after a Travel Lodge vending machine breakfast.
