So 7 days and all you have to say is one snapped chain and midge attack? Must be more to it than that. Was it really as bad as you make out and nothing of interest to recall?
We went through some fantastic scenery - I particularly enjoyed cheddar gorge, but I suspect that's because it was glorious weather as we went through it.
Day 3 (180 miles) I screwed the fueling and bonked the last 10 miles or so from the hotel.
Did the ride using Tailwind most days but yeah really hard to pick out moments of it - It really was just a case of riding long days, with nothing bad happening (there was only a couple of "driver" events) but also nothing earth shatteringly spectacular as well!
Would I do it again? Probably not.
Will I do long rides & multi-days again, almost certainly...
