I wobbled and rattled around in 10 hours 46. Quite happy with that, I was aiming for 10 but thought 11-12 was probably more realistic.
I loved most of the course, some of the linger rougher sections were quite a mental challenge, I can’t believe the state of the national cycle route to Newcastleton! However, as mentioned above, whizzing along the fire roads looking at the snow capped hills was quite something.
Well done gee, well done tom. Thanks to all the Marshall’s, that must have been as tough as the ride, it was pretty chilly out there.
