Saturday, predominantly uphill into a cool (10-13C, 50-57F), moderate to strong (30-50kmh, 20-30mph) headwind, SLOOOOW and difficult. Several didn't make it and had to be picked up and brought to the finish. We made it but the pub 2km from the end of the route was calling us so we just had to stop.

Edit: Saturday, headwinds and hills, double-dipped in evil!!!

Sunday, predominantly downhill with a lesser tailwind and warmer tempteratures, 1.5hrs faster.

Not a true double metric as it was done on two separate days but a success nevertheless and a wonderful weekend of riding with new friends.
