I was on this ride, and you're right the second half was a much nicer affair. Glad to hear you persevered though, it was a nice hilly 100km, and well organised by Bob Millar. I believe he is organising a 200km in September too. If you are local to South Wales i can recommend the a few upcoming rides. The Trefil Travail is a great 100, similar to the ridges of Mon. My mate Dave Hann is putting on a couple too, the Witches Hat (hilly 100km) and the Gower Getter (windy 200km) both leaving from North Cardiff.

Cheers, I'll check those out. The just gone 'Summer Saunter' looked like it would have been a good intro to a 200 for me, but I missed it and probably wasn't fit enough anyway. Something to aim for next year.

I was on that too, it was a lovely ride (flat-ish 200). Fitness is obviously key but a lot of getting round 200km+ routes is good planning and eating enough in my experience.
