Actually went better than I thought. My main problem on the Brompton during the week is lugging my clothes, laptop and power brick around with me. Today I just mounted my Handlebar bag on the front and I was good to go. I usually don't put the Garmin on the Brompton either so I was surprised to see I was averaging 20-21kph (on Twickenham cyclepath) I started 45 minutes late, but had caught up with 2 groups by the second checkpoint. They decided to watch the Changing of the Guard I carried on.
This is the third time I am doing the Sightseer, first time was SS, last year on gears, and now an SS Brompton. @marcusjb you are right, I walked the last incline on that rise at Greenwich.
