Agreed! A very good test, which was just what I needed.
I was expecting it to be like the Shark, which has similar climbing, but it seemed harder, maybe because there was virtually zero flat. The bit that looked like it would be fairly easy, the lanes after Battle, was probably the hardest bit with no momentum from downhills, especially in the rain / wet roads.
Great to finish at Herne Hill.
Good routes in and out of London, will reuse those!
