Episode two continues the journey of 17 amateur cyclists on their ‘Iron to Iron’ bike ride from Meldon Viaduct in Devon to Bennerley Viaduct on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border.  Having reached Taunton on their first day, the group take a gentle start to the second day before encountering a climb of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset.  With the ascent more challenging for some members of the group, there’s also an admission of a little battery-powered assistance to help make the hill feel flatter!

Paul and Lewis from Erewash Sound took the opportunity to sample a local delicacy meeting ‘the big cheese’ John at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, before re-joining the cyclists navigating their way around the urban bike routes of Bristol to mark the completion of the day’s 50-mile leg of the journey.

The episode concludes with a busy evening touring the docks of Bristol on foot, joined by guests John Scrimshaw CBE and Caroline Lovett from ‘Greenways and Cycle Routes’ charity.
