This was a 230km (143mile) event in South Wales, including the Brecon Beacons, with over 11,000 ft of climbing and 4 major climbs. This was my a significant margin the hardest ride I have done, both in terms of length and total climbing. I found it very tough, and at certain points was doubting I would be able to manage to complete, but finally I dragged my tired and aching body to the finish! At least the weather was kind, with the only real problem being the heat in the later climbs.
