OCTOPUS TRUTHS
These rides are tough but they are not as tough as they seem on paper.
You will not show up to ride without committing to it much in advance.
It's also a helluva lot of descending!

I do not recommend these rides solo or duo. These two young lads did it on their own which is much more difficult. The group ride is painful but not as painful as this. Have a look... THE VELO VEGAN
