Well done! Did you struggle on Strugg's Hill (TF293372)?

Try to get some miles in the Wolds in preparation for the L2B hills - despite some people's preconceptions about Lincolnshire, there are some serious climbs to be found!

Ha ha - I just checked that on my OS map. Oxygen masks definitely required on that monster climb which rises from 3m to, oh, about 3.02m over 2km - 0.001% - yikes!

Yep, its flat as a pancake here.
I need to head north into the Lincolnshire Wolds to get some hilly areas. Even then they are not huge.
Its about 10 miles before i get some hills. This area is mostly below sea level too.
I do so miss living in Germany where there were some great places to ride. Many years ago
I do head north when the wind is from the North.
