It was amazing thanks, but a tough tough day. ~100km ended up taking the entire day. Easily some of the most technical riding I've done, and my mate who did the routing managed a great loop with a pretty huge amount of uninterrupted off-road. There was a bit of pushing/hiking, a fair few dismounts and I stacked it straight into the heather once due to pedal stroke but none of it detracted from the riding at all. Mint day out.
The ride validated my tyre choice (just as I was convincing myself I needed something less mtb and more gravelly) and my ponderings on gearing and handlebars. Happily I won an ebay auction for a Ritchey triple while out on the ride, which I'll be looking to kit out for a silly-low gear.
