Well done!

I took a wrong turn when I had a go at it so I have never done it all in one day, though I have done the whole loop in various rides over the years. I wouldn't have fancied it in today's rain.

And there are plenty of wrong turns to be had!

As for the rain, torrential doesn't come into what happened on rooley moor road. I thought I was on the flat but there was a river coming towards me. My hands looked like i'd been in a warm bath for four hours by the time i'd finished. 8 hours.

Many thanks to Dave for hoding gates open for me and passing up jelly babies.......

8 hours in heavy rain - that's good. I think I would have taken over 9 if I hadn't gone the wrong way and cut it short.

I always find Rooley Moor a slog to climb and a real filling-shaker as a descent!

That section between Deerplay and Waterfoot is an annoying gate-fest; a pain if you don't have someone to open them for you.

It felt like 10 rounds with Mike Tyson when I did it but yes.....

And the first time I did it was on a full rigid Kona Hei Hei.
