• Low point would be the fucking cyclo-cross bit at the end, trying to climb a hill on loose mud with idiots with huge handlebars wobbling around the road in front of me.

    That bit (New Road) is my least favourite part of the ride. Luckily, when I did it there wasn't anyone else on it any more, and it was light, but I've done it in pitch blackness and it was very difficult. Given how much crap had been washed onto it this time, it really did feel like cyclo-cross, although it's normally cleaner (and more gravelly).
