Just cycled up the Beacon. Managed a sprint finish for the KOM points then found a spot to settle down and wait...
I'll be interested to know what speed your expecting slowly to be, verses the actual speed the riders go up Bear Rd.

Just come up Bear road and there were a load of shirted up cyclists, they did not look like the ordinary pubic wearing replica shirts and the road weren't' closed, is this a warm up event?
Because that's what its called

No probably just a cycling club doing the ride.
Which, as said many times before, is what makes cycling such a great sport.
Tomorrow I can get on my bike, you yours, and ride the route the pros are currently riding.
I can log my time, and compare it in minute detail on Strava.
The Amex or Wembley won't be letting me in, just because I've bought my boots.
On the start/finish line they'll be no oversized headphones or even bigger bouncers.
If you want an autograph or photo you've pretty much got it.

Just came through Seaford. The leading group must be over 5 minutes clear. Lovely day for it.

Had no idea it was on here. Decided to take a stroll to the Post Office in Hailsham and it took a few seconds for the penny to drop as to why there were hundreds of people lining the roads. 15 seconds of watching bikes streaming by as well as seemingly every police motorbike in the country. Not sure what the AA van tailing behind was for.

Saw them at the end of the road. There were 4 distinct groups with 2 or 3 minutes gap between them.

Because it's not an A or B road.
