A Hilly But Pleasant Ride to Hurst Green

Tuesday, June 13, 2017

Acton Bridge to Hurst Green, UK

60 miles, 3,448 feet of climbing

Because today's ride was going to be one of our longer and hillier rides of the tour, our Tour Leader suggested we get an early start.  We departed the Happy Guest Lodge (happy, as advertised) just after 8:00 - which is about an hour earlier than usual.  The lion's share of the day's climbing took place during the latter half of the ride.  It was a mixed bag in terms of types of climbs - a few long, gradual climbs along with a couple of super steep knee-busters.  We had much more in the way of scenery today, as our route took us through the countryside on open roads.
