With so many roads leading uphill near a village at sea level, you also start here at a furious pace. Standing on the pedals is out of the question, forward on your handlebars. Not just from the start but even after the turn. An extra star because at Helford you cross the stream over such a ford and the town itself is very pretty on the river. Quiet traffic, moderate road surface.... read more

With so many roads leading uphill near a village at sea level, you also start here at a furious pace. Standing on the pedals is out of the question, forward on your handlebars. Not just from the start but even after the turn. An extra star because at Helford you cross the stream over such a ford and the town itself is very pretty on the river. Quiet traffic, moderate road surface.

Bij zoveel wegen die bij een dorp op zeeniveau naar boven lopen begint je ook hier loeisteil. Staan op de pedalen is er niet bij, voorover op je stuur. Niet alleen vanaf de start maar ook nog na de bocht. Een ster extra omdat je bij Helford het beekje oversteekt over zo’n doorwaadbare weg en het plaatsje zelf heel mooi ligt aan de rivier. Rustig verkeer, matig wegdek.
