    No! The 125 route is very tough but the bigger route can only be described as a death march !! Done it a few yrs ago and it was terrible . Up and down , left and right all day .
    I think their objective was to make it ultra hard , sportives are supposed to be a challenge but this event seems to have missed the point IMO.

    Took me 7hrs 30min to complete the course , and this was the same yr that it took mr 7hr 15mins to do the Marmotte!!

    The 125 route has been on the go for 20 years so there must be plenty of people who like a bit of suffering.
