No colour coordinated Garmin?

I hope he was taken down a side street and given a shoeing.

I mentioned the all nighter a few weeks ago. The half baked plan is head south, knock for Sir Julian, head south until the channel sends us eastward then turn north before Folkestone and head for home.

A little shout out for those tyres I mentioned last week. I set off from the office for the 37 mile ride home last night and things were decidedly squashy at the back. I fumbled about finding my pump and using it. Then rode home. Love tubeless (when it works).

Does anyone know if the Southdown a route from Eastbourne to Winchester can be done all of main roads, just on track country?

Hi, yes all off road. Lots of hills and quite bumpy tracks for 100 miles.

There's a South Downs Way MTB route on Strava, 105 miles.

I know you can ride the route from Brighton to Winchester pretty much parallel with that route, I'm sure a poster in lesser Sussex will say much the same down to Kent, sorry I mean Eastbourne.

Thanks! Silky question where would be a good start, from Ditching Beacon?

Off road that's easy.

Stand at the top of the Beacon
Face the sea.
Then...





...Turn right.

Stop when you see this fella

Or you could just do the lot, like this fellow.

Never ride the SDW from Eastbourne to Winchester. Ride it from Winchester to Eastbourne. The prevailing wind is from the west, so don't ride into it if you don't have to.

I done it about 10 years ago in 2 and a bit days. It's really enjoyable, but knackering on the triceps after about 80 miles. It's well sign posted, probably better now than back then too.

Oh and woohoo. Well done Carapaz.

I did it about 3 weeks ago, starting from Winchester. A very tough 2 days, day 2 tougher than day 1 and not just because it was day 2, but very hilly. The views across Sussex are far better than Hampshire!

Cycled past the venerable Bruno today in Hove, what a man

That bling chain really sets off the bike. It looks great. I wish you both a wonderful future together.

I made the mistake of clicking on your strava link in your signature - and quickly realised your ytd mileage makes me look like a complete beginner!

Gets the slums of West Sussex out of the way first too.

Oi I heard that

This popped up in one of my feeds earlier. If they get it up and running at that price it could be a complete game changer for Garmin and Wahoo
