Must agree, it was a fantastic event. Was anxious beforehand regarding the distance, given that I’ve struggled with the Dirty Reiver (200km) and always terrible from the last feed stop. When the same distance was approaching yesterday I was fearing the worst but it didn’t materialise thankfully, however, there were a few dark moments though. We stopped at the Anglers Arms at Kielder and despite coming through a bad patch, I was feeling good by then, I felt terrible when I started pedalling afterwards though but just focussed on turning the pedals and came through it eventually. The burger and fries which were washed doing by a bottle of tepid lager certainly hit the spot.
@crimsondynamo yes that was me, I think that part when we were swapping turns in the wind just before feed 4 was one of the fastest sections of the ride for me, it was a giggle to 😄
