....my god how hot was it and how steep were those hills?! I admit today to changing my mind after 30 miles and continuing to the 65 mile one, rather than the 107 I originally signed up to. I'd never have made, it. Message to self - don't bite off more than you can chew....

Cracking event though and some amazing scenery! Highly recommended.

    And now a day later looking back, I'm dead chuffed with some of the hills that I managed to grind my way up - and in some places managed to pull out and pass people and still have strength in my legs to pull away. Not bad for an aging git of 39. :roll:
