Thanks for the link. That was a special ride for sure. 1300km of the finest terrain the British Isles has to offer with some very wild remote cycling.
We got lucky with the weather, though riding for 5 days with temperatures reaching 29-30 degrees each day brought a whole series of additional challenges that I don't think any of us were really prepared for.
Audax Hackney were represented by Adam, who had a difficult ride with a wobbly left crank and a lost GPS - but he got round with smile intact.
Certainly the hardest 1000km+ ride I have yet done and a totally different experience to other long rides with manned controls etc. - we were very much left to our own devices and just had to get on with it. Very raw, challenging riding.
