South Downs way, end-to-end, TBC

Just shy of 6'2", 187cm.

Order one of each into Evans for a test ride. I recall that went well before...

What's the full bounce that Howard always recommends?

15% off atm too so £850, but I'd imagine dammit wants to spend more.

bossnut lol

Just walked half of it over two days, you people doing it on bikes are crazy! And it was very dry too, can't imagine how bad it can get once wet.

It’s lethal when it’s wet. Not worth it.

Right! Anyone fancy another go? I can recommend this route:

Yep

One of the guys in our club did a non-stop return end to end last weekend. 333kms in just under 24 hours. Nutter.

Yep

It'd be trivial to do this from Petersfield, thinking about it - essentially cycling to Winchester and back.

Plannning on doing this weekend of the 7th, no set route plans yet. probs camp half way. Might camp night before too for an early start.

Just so you know, there's the SDW sportive thingy happening on the 7th. Might be a bit busy!

Ha. interesting. good to know

oh rly?
edit: may be away actually

I did this at the weekend with a few friends and the South Downs Bunkhouse in Houghton is just off the route, and exactly the ticket in terms of price vs what you need after 80km of dush

Hope to do Amberly - Eastbourne and back again soon. Last time I used a triple (and needed it) this time

So, a bit more comfortable this time?

Yep, could ride up stuff I had to walk last time, could descend somewhat faster than before. Was fun.

However, the rear shock, over rough terrain, moves the selector from fully open to medium, which is very annoying. How to fix?

how to fix?

Shock upgrade?
