Well we got three including myself in the end. All fixed at least.
There had been 28 ‘interested or going’ on the Facebook event but the weather put most off.
The first half was utterly brutal, the bbc was saying 50mph winds at my flat which is pretty much sea level the route I planned took us over a road that’s probably 1000ft up over
Moorland so you can imagine what that was like.
I bailed near the end and got a train home having completed 85 of the projected 100kms, the other two carried on and finished.
85km, 4000ft of climbing, 50mph+ winds, that’s a hard enough day for me.
