Mille Pennine done.
38 finishers from 90 starters.
It would be a tough ride in perfect conditions. The organiser puts together some very challenging sections with some very tough climbing. But, with some really rough weather, well, the numbers speak for themselves.
There was a fair bit of rain over day 1 and 2 (in particular) - sometimes very heavy. It was generally fairly cool on those first 2 days and then there was the wind. My word, that was some wind. It was a massive help on day 1 as we were more with it on our backs than not, but day 2 and 3, it was not our friend.
Properly amazing. Lots of beautiful scenery. So many 25, 30 and 33% signs.
Pretty sore after that beating.
