Came to an end with a mega descent of 40k’s – rain spoiled the first third – if I’d been there 20mins earlier I would have enjoyed what the crazy gang experienced, but we had to hold off in case the front wheel went from us and we careered over the ravine (dramatic license). With a dry road we motored on, faster and faster to our resting place. I ended up going all out on the flat into the town with 8.5 stone ironman Huw, totally overdoing the effort but it was great to know what the body can still pump out after nine hours and 100 miles! Into Prades and a swimming pool to enjoy, surrounded by mountains, we’d broken the back of this gruelling challenge.
