Just watched your tour of the pennines video… Ouch, looks painful! The guys after 1:49 have the right idea – dodging that cattle grid.
That wind couldn’t have helped either.
This timeline shows all the triathlons, half-marathons and cycle sportives I have undertaken since deciding to become a triathlete.

Thanks for the comment Joby. It absolutely was “Hell on Earth!”. I wrote a couple of blog posts about it: http://irontwit.creativeblogs.net/category/cycle-sportives/tour-of-the-pennines/
It was character building

I and a friend (@ChrisB112) decided to do a route through Holmfirth when the winds where bad last year – we made it all the way to the top (Isle of Skye) but coming back the other way, the winds where that bad it blew me off my bike
Will give your blog posts a read now – need some inspiration to get back up those hills.
