Got back home and had some lunch and got changed (Put on loads of layers as it was cold out)
I have been wanting to cycle up to Bratton Camp for a long time but have not been able to summon up the courage to cycle up the hill.
But to day I finished of last weeks ride and made it up the hill (Didn't climb out of the saddle at all! and didn't stop - Not even when I got to the top!)
I cycled from Chippenham -> Corsham -> Box -> Bathford -> Bradford-on-Avon -> Trowbridge -> Hilperton Marsh -> Steeple Ashton -> Bratton -> Bratton Camp -> West Lavington -> Devizes -> Sandy Lane -> Chippenham (Route Here...)
I actually remembered to stop when I got to Box to take a picture of the entrance/exit of Box Tunnel
I also took some pictures from Bratton Camp.
The picture really doesn't to justice to the length and scale of the hill.
I did find todays ride VERY hard work again! I wonder if the lower temperature as an impact on fatigue? I am pretty certain it must do.
Today I cycled 51.84 miles in 3 hours 32 minutes with an average speed of 14.6 mph (And it was bloody cold! - and starting to get dark when I got home)
