Just making it official.

Anyone have a map of the route (on mapmyride or some such site) that they could share by any chance? I would be interested in doing this another time.

The climb in the pic over broken, bumpy path that most walked up.

I fucking love that picture!

I'd be keen to go over the hill again if we can go down a way that'll take us right into Brighton – rather than the same shitty road we would have gone along anyway...

this one

Tandem?

I fucking love that picture!

some random couple just put it in first gear and whilst seated just breezed up that hill ^
we opened the gate for them and they just rode on didn't even stop, not a hair out of place not a breathless hacking wheeze to be heard

forumengers had a good 10 minute break at the top

Lovely!

I think me and missus are in. She doesn't know yet, but she will :)

You guys are crossing Twickenham anyway, so we'll join you there (or Ham House by the ferry or Teddington lock) if you guys ride on the south bank of the river.)

Might I ask for the gpx route file/url?
