Oooof. This was great but pretty tough.
Things were going reasonably well until about seven miles from the end when @o̼wlz͛ decided to puncture four times in as many miles, the first being a double insta-flat with a spray of Stan's goo that wouldn't do the job, despite the rivers of it in the tyres. It was cold, grey and pissing it down, we were down to our last tube so decided to sack off Bognor and head straight for Barnham. This is allowed as @jammy said so.
The route was surprisingly rad in places, especially the actual Surrey Hills MTB trail used that the SE guys insist was a 'blue' despite none of the SH trails actually being graded. Wild enough on a Race 29er with 100mm up front, I'm amazed more of the folks on CX bikes didn't break their appendages going down it. Chapeau.
Give this one a go if you think you are hard enough. Just turn up with gears and a suspension fork.
