This past weekend I participated in the Brant and Slap 200 from Windermere. The route was a 3.75 AAA ride, but really could've been 4.0.
Thankfully I took my lighter Ti bike instead of mudguard / dynamo / bag laddened Isen to save a few kg.
Tan Hill, The Stang and Buttertubs took their toll on me. The cold I thought I'd just about recovered from appeared again full strength on Sunday.
Great route and gives me a lot more respect for the Pennine climbs compared to what we have here in Scotland.
