After braving the 50 mph winds and rain of two years ago, I signed up for the Exmoor Beast again last Sunday (100k). It really is worth doing, well organized, tough and scenic. Two really tough climbs and lots of sapping undulations, but all the time the stunning countryside outweighs the pain.
I am a lot less fit this year than my last effort, but the better weather conditions allowed me to better my time by 15 mins. Having said the weather was better, it was still very dark, blowy and wet up on the moor and it tooks it's victims. Broken bones (2x clavicles and one femor - on different people I hope), chains, wheels and bikes.
Wholly recommended.
