Thanks for the inspiration, rode the AWE today. You're an absolute certifiable nutter for doing it fixed!
Lovely lovely lovely route though.
Was definitely ready to head for home by Swanley and to head back down was tough to do. Absolutely shagged by the time I got to the top of Sundridge, and got finished finished off by the Titsey / White Lane combo. I may or may not have walked up the second half of White Lane. The ride that keeps on giving. Loads of Bluebells out and those yellow flowers that make the rapeseed oil all out too.
Thought about calling it quits at times but glad I didn't.
Keep the suggestions coming!https://www.strava.com/activities/1525368745/

Sounds... fun.
Definitely want to do this one weekend instead of a) doing fuck all b) riding the chilterns

Haha - it does hurt at times!
That last little climb back up into Selsdon looks like a brick wall as you drop down Old Farleigh Road.
The first time I rode, I came close to packing at Langton Green, but its well worth the sweat carrying on.
Well done.

No piccy wics from todays tussle with AWE - my camera melted.
Hard to believe though that I DNFd less than 6week ago due to arctic conditions!
Seriously people - get yourself a brevet for this ride. It was absolutely beautiful today. Don't let the AAA put you off, its such a nice ride on a day like today, you'll forget how many hills there are.
Hard, but worth every pedal stroke, both at 30rpm up, and 170rpm down.
