"The day starts with a short ferry & a steep hill
followed by many quiet & narrow country lanes. ....The route is tough but only 58
miles and very scenic for large parts so if the weather is good & you’re in
the right mood then it will be an enjoyable yet tough day’s ride, however this
is one of the toughest days ride of the tour."
A fair assessment by the Peak Tours team. In the end we covered 64 miles with 6598' of climb. Some of the hills were incredibly steep around 1 in 4 or 1 in 3 but thankfully short(ish) unfortunately they came in waves, unlike yesterday there was little time to roll along as a result average speeds were around 11mph.
Dartmoor was wonderful and very eerie with clouds scudding across the tors.
Rather late now so more to follow at a later time
