Thrasher-
It was certainly challenging -Exeter to Lands end was lots of the steep single track you'd expect down there, slow going but atmospheric, especially Dartmoor.
Nothing I'd call gratuitous though. A Cornwall ride is going to be hilly -eg I love Andy Corless routes but there is an element of gratuitousness with some of the hills to them in my opinion (which is no criticism!)
Lands end to Exeter was actually a fast section for me, bits of the LEJOG route and a less lumpy way to Exeter. Holiday traffic close passes were awful though. My voice is actually hoarse from yelling 'prick' at drivers.
Last section from Exeter to London was tough mainly as I rode in 12 hours of heavy rain on no sleep and it wasn't as flat as I'd thought.
I aomehow made it back to the scout hut first, after hallucinating a small group ahead of me who I never quite caught up with for most of Saturday 😂

I've bailed on BoB just as I'm not sure how I feel about going abroad this year in the end.
Reckon I'll defer to next year for more of a 'normal' experience plus just ridden 1000 for LLEL and now less enthusiastic about another.
