Hope you've trained for it Ben.

My father in law did it on a racing tandem bike, many years ago. He finished it, but I'm not sure if he won anything though.


Good luck to you Ben.O0

Steve.

Noticed people do round trips and never square ones? Still round ones are easier on the M25. :biggrin:

Tis true. Junction 5 is nearby and designed to cause accidents, slow lane of one road comes into the fast lane of the other one. Country lanes are more fun and often quicker! :2fun:

I love Sunny Sussex. Have many an ancestor who came from there and one who was living there in 1911.
