Ride 16/06/2023 Coast to Coast day 6

Another great day in the saddle, hot and sunny with lots of climbing to do today. Straight out of the hotel we were up a hill and it would be like that for the first 15 odd miles, with some real steep stuff at 16% all before the first water stop. After the water stop it was an epic downhill for quite some time, probably about 10 miles before we started heading back up the hills to the lunch stop. Lunch was at mile 36 but again we would have steep hill to get over before we rode down to the pub for sandwiches and chips, all the carbs After lunch we only had another 17 miles to go so I headed out alone to get a little bit of exercise and ride at my pace rather than the groups. I got to the hotel just shy of 55 miles so I rode around a bit to bump it up to 55 miles thus doing the 55 miles at an avg speed of just under 16 mph going over just shy of 4000 feet of climbing.
