Successfully pushed myself to breaking point on Friday. Raced the first ever Braunton 150. 150 miles (and 20,000 feet of climbing!) around Exmoor and along the rugged north Devon coast. It was amazing. The group depart was at 11am from Braunton, I rode right through the night, but around 8am the next morning, my knee gave up. It's so hilly around there, and with so much pushing up steep rocky tracks, it just hurt too much to go on. I limped home on some A/B roads.
I later found out, if I had made it, I would have been first person in, by about 2 hours! Fuuuuuu.
Was looking at your Strava and thinking that 211km in 21hrs was... well I didn't want to say anything. Then I zoomed in on the map and I realised it was ALL OFF ROAD. I've only been to Exmoor once but I remember it well... that must have been Brutal!
