London To Brighton 'Off Road' - 20 Sep

[EggsBenedict]

Anyone doing it?

I am. As a 100Kg+ noob, it's going to take a bit of effort to get fit enough to do it, but there's the challenge.

Sorry if this is a repeat - I thought I saw something before and couldn't then find it.

Really enjoyed it too. Glad I did some training though. Had a decent 'off' about halfway, the doctor I saw this morning says I've fractured a rib. Other than that, it was good. The main obstacles are actually the other participants. I had several other low speed spills thanks to not being able to unclip when someone in front decided to stop dead without warning on the only available riding line. . The first section of the hill right at the end was pretty well unrideable. Firstly because of the terrain, secondly because of all the people on it and lastly because of the gradient. Saw a couple of people manage it. Did the rest though.
