Perhaps I had underestimated the KAW course as my average speed was so low that daylight hours became a concern and I was flirting with nightfall upon reaching both overnight stops. The toughest part was the South Downs Way on the second morning, I think it's properly MTB territory. The Ridgeway was also very slow going on a day of constant drizzly rain.
One stupid mechanical late in the ride: provoked by the constantly rough terrain a base layer escaped the seat pack, fell out and wrapped itself round the rear disc brake. I had to remove the wheel and cut it free.
Over the three days I recorded 360km/4200m/20 hours. I felt very tired this weekend after that. There again, I did a lateral flow test on Sunday to find that I am positive for Covid.
