I did test ride on a 42x18 SS on 28c tyres and was able to cruise along around 16-18mph.
With some stops and checking things i went round in 4 hours.
Factor in it will be social pace, you don't want to geared lower as it will be very spinny, i am jumping to 42x16 as that's on the bike now.
We will stop to look at things, maybe fish someone out of a water filled ditch. See Sound mirrors, little rest and refuel, maybe sit on beach for fish and chips.
Then pootle along to Dungeness, i will prop up the pub bar or railway station Cafe as it sells beer while you all run wild and get vertigo and see how fast puke gets from top of lighthouse to peoples heads at bottom :)
Maybe another quick refuel in Lydd, then back to the marshes....... lovely pub in Ivychurch, we may have to stop there for a swift half.
It won't be a punishing thrash it out as fast as possible :)
