I regularly ride and consider myself reasonably fit, I rode the Exmoor Explorer yesterday and I was wondering if someone could tell me as a way of comparions how these events compared?

What's the route of the 100 usually like? how much climbing/fire road/singletrack is there?

I have signed up for kielder but halfway through the explorer this year I started having second thoughts
I do the explorer most years and although this years course was very good, it was a toughie
Having spoken to some mates who have done Kielder they say that the climbs are mainly fire road and double track
Not that steep but drawn out. A bit like the one on the extended loop this year
I too think I am reasonably fit and can do 75 miles plus off road but I struggled on some of those last climbs

I remember some pretty steep climbs at Kielder! And a fair amount of single track climbing as well! Not ridden Exmoor though so can't compare.
