....after the `tarte de pommes`, and  fortified by a couple of shots of limoncellos,  I flew up the Col de Bavella whilst thunderstorms rolled around the peaks above

There's a big difference between Steve's and Kurt's tracker miles today at this stage:

Steve: 197
Kurt: 110
There is! Kurts mileages have often been much more than the tracker recently though. I think sometimes the tracker doesn't catch the start.

Great ride today!

Great stuff. Longer distances and higher speeds, just like Steve expected.

Yet another thumb in the eye for the few negative posters on Steve's threads.

I read these posts every day and every day I don't know what to say, glad to see Steve is upping his mileage going into better weather. I wish him well going forward and well done to all hosts/fettlers et al. bloody good work all round. Can't wait for the summer to start proper.  :thumbsup:

358.7k @26.5 kph.  I've never managed anything like that. Me hat's off.

Oh for a nice long, sunny spring and a gentle summer & autumn.  Then we'll see some stuff.

Very close to the same distance as yesterday, but 1000m less climbing.

Did Steve's route today avoid some significantly lumpy bits, or is it just Strava/Garmin giving inaccurate climbing figures?

It was hillier yesterday. He went up the A5, A426, skirted Leicester and then Melton / Granthamish before hitting the flatlands. Today he stuck to the flatlands.
