This brought back so many wonderful memories of riding the inaugural CTS North. It has to be one of the enjoyable rides I have ever completed, even though we arrived at Prestwick just after sunset, but hey it's not a race. The roads, countryside, support (especially at Elsdon & Hermitage), camaraderie, weather and route were superb. Even the midges could not spoil that day. It's a far nicer and less frantic/dangerous route than CTS South which I attempted the previous year when I bailed out at sunset (just before Cheddar) due to inadequate lights on the bike. Plans to undertake CTS Italy the following year (2020) were scuppered by Covid-19 and as I'm past 60 now with 2 brand new hips, my long long days in the saddle are now in the past, but thank you for your fabulous video - absolutely fantastic!
Wonderfully filmed and what an inspiration. Easy to say “200miles” when looking at it on a map, but to ride it, that’s a different matter. Great stuff.
