Ian Holms Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thought that as a retired HM Customs & Excise officer, entering a Smugglers Sportive was appropriate. ............................. Roberto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Holms Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Smuggler sportive was the toughest one I've ever ridden, and I've ridden a few. Around 700 participants took part in outrageous weather and extremely tough conditions. Long steep climbs especially the Beara short climb (segment) and the Exmoor moors to deal with. I finished the 50+mls in 4hrs 8mins at an average speed of 12.9mph, no results sheet but I'm satisfied with my ride.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted June 9, 2017 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Good ride Ian. I was once down there for a ride called the Exmoor Beast. It was called off due to bad weather. I managed to ride some bits of the route later In the week; very tough. Afterwards I was glad the full event had been cancelled.
