This is the first long distance ride that I have done but I found the route to be a good mix of minor roads with only a few major roads to cope with. The first leg on day 2 through Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey was simply superb. Having more hills on day 3 would have been good to add some variety, but that may not be possible as we followed a set route.
Everything worked very smoothly. I didn’t feel rushed in the mornings and we had enough time in the evenings to relax before dinner.
