Thanks @J_a_m_es and @hippy for the Meridian Hills routesparation.
Finished it this time.
Wasn't feeling great after getting something viral last week and not being able to look at the bike.
It's a great /strange route, as you previously said James, no gratuitous hills or really too many famous ones either but it's still fucking relentlessly rolling / hilly. No flat, the hills, they keep on coming. Magical bit with a Ford in the road the you go through twice near Hindleap Warren.
Felt really slow, couldn't get any power down. Don't know if it was because I'm not feeling great or the sunny weather, so so nice. So lucky that we have these routes available to us.
Anyone up for a DIY GMC?
Would be great to have some company.https://www.strava.com/activities/1602125824/

Be aware it is postal entry only at the moment "to deter but not rule out new entries".
The org is stopping orging these at the close of the season.
Of course, 3500m of climbing is 3500m of climbing, but this is a lot less gratuitious than AWE.
Nice day out, except over the winter when it gets very slick around Hever.
I posted a few entry forms yesterday for AWE - still a few rides short of the AAA century, so I figured another half dozen entries should help!
If all works out, the entries ahould be good going into the new season, but I would make sure that you use any entries, just in case nobody takes it on.
(I've put my name forward, and surely I can't be the only fool who wants to keep them going?)
