Adrian and Terry rode 140 Kms, with 1500 metres of climbing, in a time of 6 hours and 9 mins.

Just Terry on this one.

"I'm affraid, the toughest ride for me so far this year.
I didn't finish, due to falling off half way.
I gave up after 60 miles. There were some really tough climbs; some as steep as 30%"
