I can't find this and they haven't replied to my email.
Anyone know roughly the climbing on 100 mile route?

    Looks nice...

    Road closures completely pointless up there... although on a sunny day bikers can be a nuisance with open roads...

    It's a lovely part of the world... if you need roads to be closed to cover 100 miles, then go for it, got to be more scenic than Velo Coventry

    Goes through the village I was born and brought up in - Kirk Merrington - at the 30/80 mile point. Tempting to make the 300 mile drive ...

    Luckily it comes from the east along a ridge. The only easy way up to the 800m above sea level village although to be honest it's a lot easier than the hills further west

    At the risk of lowering my own odds, not that I have any idea how I would get up there without a car...
