It's a bit more complicated than that...
Or, if you start from Cowes, in the first 5 or 6 miles. With cold legs. I was quite pleased to be overtaking people on the drag up from Cowes, although the sight of the club riders powering off into the distance was sobering. Perhaps next time we'll bring the lighter tandem!The fact that the one at Gurnard, the rise from the ferry at Cowes and that vicious dip at Whippinham are all in the last 5 or 6 miles is a real grind
What's the optimum starting point? The best blend of flattish start and not-too-hilly finish?
