So... did the London to Brighton off road BHF event on Saturday.
Great fun - only the middle third felt like proper mountain biking. The first third was on the Thames Path and most of the last part was on the Downs Link.
Two big ole hills though including one near the end at about 70 miles which was a bit of a killer. Nice at the top though to be able to look down over Brighton from above.
Two weeks of dry weather made it nice - biggest problem was dust. Had it been wet I imagine parts of it would have been stupidly muddy with 1500 bikes going past!
