OMG. What a day. I'm in shock - firstly from the size of the hills and secondly from the fact that the sun has shone ALL DAY!!!!! You know where you can stick Italy.
46.89 miles today. The first 20 or so lulled us into a false sense of security as we started out with a few flat miles and then they were gently rolling. We'd been warned that after Settle, the hills were tougher. That's an understatement. I admit I had I walk up the hill directly out of Settle. It was impossible to turn the peddles for part of it. Stopped the day getting boring though!
Highlights today included seeing the national sheep shearing champion at work. Enjoying lunch with a couple of fellow Way of the Roses riders. And finally....... an amazing jacuzzi bath in our b & b this evening. Just what the tired legs need.
Oh and a huge slice of homemade orange cake on arrival at our b & b followed by panini & chips for tea. No tutting. I did burn off 2360 calories today!
