Make sure you take an off road or gravel not a road bike like I did thinking it was a road 😡

Wind Turbine Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Good road, one of my fave bits. It’s flat and the surface is pretty good so you can get some speed going as you race past the giant windmills in the fields.
