So.

If I were actually going to do this. Like actually going to do it. Would Winchester - Eastbourne, camping half way then swimming at the end be a good shout?

CX bike or full susser?

I'm thinking of late August / Early September.

A short travel full suspension bike would be the perfect bike for the SDW.

I've done it on a cross bike. It might be marginally faster across the terrain but after riding a bike for 10 hours comfort's pretty important.

I have a [rigid] cross bike, a hard tail MTB and a massively heavy trail centre bashing full susser.

Sounds like the hard tail is the one to use.

@Dammit come camping with us. Little campfire, a few beers, starry sky. It'll be romantic. We can talk about Porsches.
