Bournville Classic completed today. A tour of the Wast, Waseley, Lickey and Clent Hills to the south of Birmingham. 109km with 1900m ascent starting and finishing at the Cadbury factory. Probably the toughest ride I've done all year- nowhere flat and although no major long hills, lots of short steep, leg sapping stuff. 16 categorised climbs and plenty of technical riding. Have just polished off the biggest bacon sarnie you have ever seen which I have been looking forward to since about 50km in!
