Did it with my GF (her first event of this type at all) and we both had a great time! Gave up the idea of trying to go fast at all the other day, my fitness has gone to pot the last couple of months, dodgy knee is playing up again and I’ve had a chest infection for a couple of weeks or so now!
I think we were officially the last 50km finishers, but given that it was the furthest she’d ever ridden, the time is irrelevant IMO. We had a nice time, took in the scenery, stopped to eat Turkey Sandwiches a couple of times, so was a day very well spent!
Now to clean the 3 tonnes of mud off my bike… Next year, I’m taking a Crosser!
