Tune in to ITV4 or GCN tomorrow (Tuesday 6 Sept) at around 12:30 to see how much quicker the pros (without saddlebags, 1,000 km in their legs and 30C heat) can ascend Chapel Fell.

They are going over Chapel Fell now.
Very slowly, but no one has got off and walked yet!
But it is daylight and they don't have 900km in the legs.
No sign of Drew.

I hope to be wearing my volunteer T shirt as the race passes through Ventnor on Sunday.
Look out for me at top of the climb from the Esplanade.

There was also a short stretch of the 1989 & 1993 route yesterday, a bit of the A68 including Toft Hill.

The peleton didn't split up so the climb can't be that tough  ;) :demon:
