Gospel Pass 200km ride. Worth the effort.
14 June.
200km and 150km (?) AAA rated Audax.
I rode this last year and it remains one of all time favourite rides, thats why I bring it back to the top today.
Ridden on my standard Trek road bike, so if youve not attempted a long day in the saddle such as this, it isnt too different to a long club ride-plus.
My only preparation in the few weeks leading up to this ride was a 75 mile sportive in Lincolnshire and a local 109 miler with the club, both of which I found set me up well mentally for a full day out in the hills. We had great weather too, which made it all the more glorious.
