OK, so "Evil Sod of the Month" in April goes to whoever did the route maps for the Ridgeway Rouleur Sportive. The course itself was lovely but the promised 2000ft of climbing was actually very nearly 4000ft. Now I normally love the hills but on this occasion I set out much faster than I otherwise would to go for a fast average pace. Net result was I turned in a good time but was completely exhausted by the end.

Ride organisers are sadists and always back load the climbs as your elevation shows but you think they could get the elevation about right .
