So me and 5 other mates had a crack, 123kms and 3100m of vert. Definitely gnarliest thing ive done.
Aim was always to just stick together and finish, so there was always a lot of waiting around at the top of climbs for half the guys, or at the bottom after a butt clenching descent.
Officially completed in a tad over 8hrs with strava saying a moving time of 6hrs 41.
Conditions were supreme with absolutely zero wind. The afternoon before had a torrential down pour compacting all the gravel nicely, washing away the loose stuff. Honestly could not have asked for a better day weather wise.
Event was well organised with plenty of clear signage on the course, only downside was the water stops had run out of water for the first 3 or 4 stops.
A few snaps below from when we wernt descending or climbing brutal hills.
