I've done the 160k route of the North Cornwall Tor and it is the hardest ride I've ever done! and that includes 200k plus days in the Alps. Maybe you are a bit like me, in that I can climb <6% ramps all day, but a reasonable amount of >10% will empty my legs in no time. There are many climbs (quite short) at 20% and greater on the N.C.T. and there is very little flat in between the climbs. My Garmin had 3900m of climbing at the end of the ride.
It is beautiful though. Chapeau for getting through it!
