Dark Peak "Lord of the Loops" Route - Done!
From the Vertibrate Graphics Dark Peak book, completed it on Saturday.
67.5 miles
4022 meters of vertical ascent
14.5 hours of riding
Rated "Double extreme"
P*ssed it down all day
Consumed own bodyweight in Powerbars
I think that has to rank as the toughest thing I've ever done, could be tempted to do it again (maybe next summer solstice) but must remember to take midge lotion and decent lights, Dark Peak downhill in the dark isn't much fun!
Anyone else given it a bash? It's great fun (honest
)

Phew - sounds TOUGH!! I'm heading up to the peaks in the next month or two but don't think i'll try the exact same loop...
Sounds like a great challenge for another time though
