Will have to remember that as I'm hauling myself over the Ashdown to Battle...

It's a lovely ride but I don't think of it as a very hilly one - didn't realise it used to have AAAs
Last time I did it, it was the first time I'd used new bike with Di2. Turned out I hadn't charged it properly so had to do the last 280km single speed. Other than the climbs out of Dover and Folkestone, lack of gears wasn't much of a problem and I got round in about the same time as the previous year.

hmm I'd personally vote for Oasts and Coasts as you get to see all of Kent, plus there's a control in an ice cream shop and I stopped for half a dozen oysters last year before riding the last 100k.
Cruelly stripped of its AAA points this year for some reason.
