London to Brighton Off Road - 24th Sept
Discussion
I was hoping to have enough fitness to attempt it this year, but I've done a couple of off-road 28 milers recently and after about 2:45 my arse is in agony and I have to get off.
Definitely having a go next year once I've built up some saddle resistance.
Good luck to those who are doing it.

I'm looking forward to it! Should be fun and been training for it so feel comfortable. BRING IT ON!
Good luck - glad you have been training, because its quite tough. I did it last year, and maybe i'll do it again some day, but not for a while!My write-up:

Yes, that bit up to Truleigh Hill is a proper biatch whichever way you approach it!

Go look at 2 Toms Uk website for their attractively names "butt shield" . Seriously, it's fabulous, I did 10 hour MX Enduro on a 450 Honda and did 20 miles in MTB on trails 2 days later. Definitely having a go next year once I've built up some saddle resistance.
Good luck to those who are doing it.
Also, adjust your saddle, maybe tip forward a bit and lower it a tad, small adjustment can make a massive difference to arse endurance.

Nice - just gave you some kudos.
~7 hrs riding was around what we did it in.
Cheers! Was a great day wasn't it! Superb organisation. Fortunate that I didn't need ANY mech support (bike ran like a dream!) and I managed to stay upright so didn't need any medic support either. Painkillers WERE required though at one stage as two weeks previously I managed to cause myself a 'sub lux shoulder dislocation'(from coming off). Apparently.~7 hrs riding was around what we did it in.

There's loads on YT. Does this give a good impression of the event? Friend has asked if I want to do it next year.
