Day Three – Burnham Market to Sheringham

Day Two – Swaffham to Burnham Market
46 miles ridden - 497m climbed - Temperature 24C Today was a day of two halves. The good half was that I arrived here just 30 minutes before the heavens opened. The bad half was repeated problems with my rear derailleur which meant I was continually skipping gears and...
Day One – Wingfield to Swaffham

Day 2 – 11 September – Mittenwald to Nauders.
82 miles ridden - 1671m climbed - temperature 17C Today was a fabulous but hard day. Although the sky was blue, Mittenwald was entirely in the shade of the mountains so we needed arm warmers and gilet (Rapha of course) while we warmed up. And we warmed up pretty...
