    I've done it a few times, it's not too difficult if you have a reasonable level of fitness being virtually flat except for Ditchling Beacon whhich is a killer. My irst year I ended up pushing after aboput half way.

    I've always done it on a Mountain Bike but with slicks on, peolpe on road bikes will find it easier.

    The earlier you can start the better, the congestion if you start after 7.00 can be a nightmare. For example Fanny's Farm always has major pile ups where all it takes is one person to lose concentration.

    Also as the ride is the middle of June starting early keeps you out of the worst of the sun. The ride is 55 miles

    Good luck it's a great day out.
