Done it 3 years in a row, last one was in 2011, rode up ditchling each time, but i did it on my mountain bike, took me 4.5 hours each time, was going to do it this year but an ankle injury has put paid to that

done it three times in the past.. regular practice needed, as its a long way- leg muscles, heart etc need to be ready.

work up ride mileage to about 35 miles (with breaks) by at least a week beforehand.., take it easy, sip plenty of water, and enjoy the views!

Oh, and take a poncho, even if it looks nice.

Did it a few years ago. Would have been great if it weren't for my now ex misses tagging along.
I put some training in, so was in good shape for it. Didn't need to bother, about 5 miles in, my ex misses rides her bike straight into mine. Her bike was fooked and had get a train home!!!
Great day out.
