- Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
- 4 hours 0 mins (3 hours 0 mins cycling)
- Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Rider Comments on the Route

Challenging it was described and it was for me. Team leaders were knowledgeable and helpful. No one was left behind. Apart from falling off and the rain. A good ride. Thank you to Neil for the first aid. Hopefully meet up again on another ride soon. Regards to all. Gary -
