My first HONC for over a decade and this time was much more fun. Only the second time I’ve ever done 100km, and proud I am too.
Not a great a time as many 6 1/2 hours, but I didn’t drink enough towards the end and the choice of a cx bike didn’t pay off at the end, as the descents over Cleeve hill were hell. Superlight next year I think, it’ll make sense for the final descent which would have been amazing (instead of amazingly painful)
As for people complaining about competitiors on the climbs, next month at the Dyfi it’ll be people mincing down the descents which will p155 people off. You can never win….
