From previous posts in this thread, I'd mostly be concerned about what tyres to use.
Puncturegeddon could kill your enthusiasm pretty quickly.

I did the Petersfield to Brighton section over the August bank holiday on a CX bike with 33c tyres (tubeless) and it was thoroughly enjoyable https://www.strava.com/activities/1156405143

Can I come?
Just seeing this thread pop up again makes me want to jump on a bike and get back out there.
Don't worry about fitness, if you start struggling you're always very near civilisation and rarely far from a station to take you home.

So I only have a CX/gravel bike. As my overall fitness and anecdotal data suggests it's too hard and too far to do the whole thing, I was thinking of doing half of it which means I'd have fun for my whole ride. For those that have done it, would this much of the SDW be fun, or would it still be too much? Imagine I the right tyres etc. It seems like it all gets a bit much / mental just outside of Lewes, but I'd love to see it but also have fun instead of suffer needlessly...
