  • Likely doing about 60k from Eastbourne this Saturday then detour down to finish at Worthing, any particularly 'rough' bits along that section that I should look out for? My left hand/wrist doesn't like bumpy stuff, my off-road experience is nil and I'm doing it on a restored 90s 26er with rigid forks, just wondering how fucked I'll be by the end of it...

  • Depends how rough you mean. A lot of that section is more grassy (or at least you can easily ride alongside the stony bits). Obviously I was doing it the other way so am just trying to remember - I think the climb up onto the Downs after Alfriston is a bit rough, after that it's not bad - definitely better than the bits after Worthing. The last 10k or so might be a bit rough, but you could always detour off diagonally to Worthing if it gets bad.

  • Ta, doesn't sound too bad actually. I'm probably just over-thinking it and it'll be alright!
