Underprepared for today's energetic event as the bad weather in March stopped me getting the bike miles in. Nevertheless I successfully completed the almost 44 mile cycle that went up hill and down glen, 557m of ascent/descent, some very steep.
I stoppped a few times to take pics and have a snack and longer at the feed station for cake and a cuppa. (It was longer than intended as the free food had run out and the pay venue was slow and had a queue but at least it gave my backside a rest!).
Mr Rat did a longer route (68 miles) with even more climbing and also managed a respectable time.
I've also finished the backblips, including some kayaking pics, and if you want to catch up they start here
