@pit thanks!
@psg1ben I had to look up "file treads".
The Internet says: "File tread tires are great for dry grass courses and dry dirt. Many file tread tires feature a small shoulder with knobs which assist in cornering traction, have low rolling resistance and work great… until they don't"
I guess that means a 25c Durano Plus isn't gonna cut it!
I have to be in Brighton to do some meaningful fettling work on the family home. So may just A23 it. Or get the train. But, like I say, doing the Downs Link was great, not least because it zips past The Partridge in Partridge Green (Dark Star brewery's home town - they have off-sales of Creme Brulee and other Dark Star ales) and you can do The Wellington in Shoreham too. #beeeeer
Good luck and I would definitely be up for this soon-ish. Just need to rebuild the gaspipe clunker...
