Yesterday my girlfriend and I completed our first 400, the Auld Alliance starting at 9 PM in Edinburgh.
Flipping heck, riding through the night with no sleep is tough. The actual night was ok, but fighting the urge to curl up and sleep at the roadside between 4 and 9 AM was horrible. I really do think I would have DNF’d if I was alone.
The route was a total banger, however, and we did get a pretty good sunrise. Also, there was very little rain and everything went smoothly, so all in all a very good ride.
