Greenwich Mean Climb has been going a couple of years I think. Did it year before last and found it very very hard. It's pretty similar to the route of the Shark audax with an extra 100k of brutal climbing thrown in after Seaford.
Being ACH it will be very well run. Still not doing it again...
Does anyone have suggestions for a good 400km DIY that's vaguely accessible from London? Sufficient time has passed from my LEL failure to consider riding a bike again and I'm a 400 short of an SR for this year. Preferably not Essex/Suffolk (ruling out doing Flatlands for that reason) because I find the scenery a bit monotonous plus I am never cycling anywhere near Epping Forest in daytime again.
Thinking London-Wales-London might be best option. Would prefer nothing too AAA because I'm horribly slow on hills.
