Cycle Steps |
1. Nice easy start through Kettering town with a few miles of fairly flat roads until the village of Wilbarston. The hills come thick and fast for about 5 miles through to Hallaton. A long steady climb of about 2 and a half miles into Uppingham.
From there a very welcome flat spot then a nice slow descent towards Lydington getting quite fast towards the bottom end. Flat spot of a few miles into Gretton and then another steady not to difficult a climb into gretton.
Followed by a few undulating straights towards Weldon. From Weldon mainly A-road work undulating again into Geddington then flat back into a sprint finish into Kettering again. |

Very nice little cafe "beans" in Uppingham just about right for a quick cuppa and t-cake. (the owner is a cyclist and very helpful, good place to fill up your water bottle if needed).
