Graham & Helen's Lake-Bound Tupelos
Anyone who has ridden the Fred Whitton Challenge will know how ridiculously ridiculously challenging riding in The Lake District can be! Notable example being the 30% gradient of Hardknott Pass after a mere 94 miles of riding!
Hence we had to pay particular attention to the working terrain of Helen and Graham's bikes.
Both bikes have Rotor 46/30 on the front and 12-34 on the back. With scope to extend to 12-36 should they need it - need and want could easily collide here.

Tweaked and ready to ship out to The Lakes. These bikes are going to work very hard for their living!
Helen's Rotor crank and GRX cassette
Shimano's superb GRX Di2 components
Please wave if you see Helen and Graham on Hardknott Pass
