I did Christ's Hospital to Brighton via Shoreham yesterday. On 32-630 Marathons and 52:20. Lots of bouncing chain*, but it was pretty much perrrrfect. Some of the closed sections were a bit of a challenge for the tires I was on. The funny feeling of ultra smooth tarmac when you get to the Adur at Shoreham had me chuckling.
Oh. And stacked it at Croydon, because I'd been too lazy to loosen off the beater M454 pedals†I was using. Proper idiot.
