Exmoor

Don't let 146 km over 2 days fool you into thinking this was an easy weekend! This was the hardest two days on a MTB I've experienced for sure. Well, to be more precise the first day was the hardest and then I started day 2 on a massive calorie deficit.Two and a half years ago we set out to ride a portion of the Braunton 150 route. Never intending to ride anywhere near the full 150 miles we spent all day getting from Minehead to Porlock ~30kms in the pouring rain, NYE in a Porlock pub covered from head to toe in mud, camping on a sheltered patch of grass in Porlock Weir before admitting defeat on the second morning and riding back to the car on the road to try and keep hypothermia at bay. This time around we set off in summer at the end of the first UK lockdown to stretch our legs and refresh our minds.
