So it's time for another pedalling adventure 🚵
The start of this years jaunt begins tomorrow…..driving down to Okehamption, then cycling with a pal between the last two iron viaducts in Britain - Meldon and Bennerley, & on back to Leicester.
About 350 miles over 7 days. Along the way we will cross over a few other interesting bridges: Clifton suspension, Severn and Ironbridge. Looking forward to it!
The inspiration originally came from https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-58597352: Iron to Iron!
The official route appears to not be complete yet (although I think I saw a Komoot map at some stage). It will likely avoid Wales, be a little shorter and less hilly, but we liked the extra hop over the Severn, & hey, more hills are good for me, so why not 😱
Not quite my epic 2021 LEJoG monster, but then I haven't prepared for this as much either....
You can see the overall route I have crafted at https://cycle.travel/map/journey/280520…..& if you feel particularly loose with some change, we’re raising some pennies for a local animal rescue centre: a favoured charity of a favourite local microbrewery we will end at🍻
Just hoping my crank doesn’t break this time 🤪. I’ve had one minor challenge already, resolved yesterday with the help of this forum 😎👍👍
