  5. Point of interest after 45.5 km

    Start of Turners Hill. The road slopes gently up for a few miles until a small dip down to the foot of Turners Hill. This is often regarded as the second worst hill of the journey. Long and steepish, it narrows near the top so not easy to get off even if you want to.

  6. Point of interest after 49 km

    32 Miles.

  7. Point of interest after 50.3 km

    Long enjoyable descent.

  8. Point of interest after 62.1 km

    Long, slow, sapping climb.

  9. Point of interest after 65.5 km

    First glimpse of the 'Green Monster'.

  10. Point of interest after 72.2 km

    The road is rising here and you'll be going slowly as you steel yourself. The Beacon is very steep but not that long. It is 183m above sea level. There are three left hand twists. Round two of them you should take in the stunning views to the left to distract yourself.

  11. Point of interest after 74.3 km

    Ditchlin Beacon.

  12. Point of interest after 79.5 km

    The descent of Coldean Lane: very fast, quite dangerous. You will go through a speed camera at more than 30mph most likely but please beware of cars turning right into side roads.
