I can assure you it was that wind that made a few of the roads seem hillier ;)
jonny, i was behind you on the climbs towards the end. probably why i thought they were pretty easy ;) polka dot jersey for you!
i was always looking ahead and attacked most of the climbs. attacking full pelt at the start meant momentum got me thru most of the run up. the route was perfect for my 47x16 ratio....most were on lower gears so it was easier for me to go faster longer.
thanks for doin the route jonny. good choice of lanes. quiet, smooth surfaced lanes, nice small towns, scenic, thatched roofed houses, etc...excellent work
yeh, well done to those who did as their first long ride. sore backs, bums and legs today no doubt. no pain no gain!
