Location: Hitcham, Suffolk, United Kingdom
 
            This was the fifth and final stage of the first ever Tour of Britain for women, and it was amazing to watch - especially on the QOM hill climb at Hitcham.
I took the video (below) around half-way up the second QOM climb of the day, at Hitcham in Suffolk. There was a breakaway of three, around ten seconds ahead of the peleton, and finally a small group around two minutes down.
Here is my ride whilst spectating the race, plus a bunch of miles to get home again:
And, a bit of narcissism! Here's another video, a short snippet (no sound) from ITV4 of the Hitcham QOM; you can see me, briefly, on the left side as the three leaders work their way up the climb:
