"This is perhaps the easiest day’s ride of the tour. It is the shortest in terms of cycling & while there are a few hills to tackle, notably away from Monmouth & at the end of the day towards Clun the route is generally quite easy. Today is also one of the most scenic days with many hidden gems
The description failed to explain that the climb would be concentrated into the last third of the route, with two rather nasty sections (several people bailed out) that lead to a white knuckle descent to the ford at Clun.
It was despite this a glorious ride especially the section in Shropshire, a county which continues to reveal new treasures on every visit even after over 30 years.
