On my way to meet Lizzie at Ellerton. Just climbed The Stang. Boy is it tough.
Mostly downhill to Reeth now and bacon sarnie at The Dales Bike Centre!
Post script: it was indeed a nice bacon sarnie and hot chocolate in The Dale Bike Centre, followed by a cheeky ride along the Reeth-Richmond road (it’s closed for resurfacing before the Tour de France), then a fight into the headwind south of Catterick Garrison, before eventually arriving at Ellerton for the post-swim cakes. 90km in all, and if it hadn’t been for the headwind, I’d have been happy to do the short 50km route back home.

Was the bacon buttie at Reeth as good as at The Cycle Hub though?!
I think more extensive testing is required…
