The Wall
With that said, we tackled the famous cobble stone climb in Haworth. Great fun trying to race up that, but a very bumpy ride! Don't think I'll be starting a family any time soon..
Quick stop for a corned beef and pickle toastie in Skipton and then we were off for the second half of the day. We did hang around for a bit too long checking out one of the bike shops for things - I've been tempted to get a rear-view mirror just because it seems like it would be handy to be able to look behind you with a simple tilt of the head. None in stock though.
Climbing the second big hill of the day (Fleet Moss, one of the top 10 hardest climbs in the UK - at least in reverse..) and looking back to see what we'd just done was amazing. A huge 20% descent afterwards but anything above 35mph gets me a little too nervous!
It's been a long hard day finishing at quarter past 5 but still a great time having a chat about it later in the pub.
Glad that's over for now. Late start tomorrow (9:30am) so at least we'll get to sleep in a bit..
Had to go back down for this pic!
