• Having done this route again on Saturday, I'm gonna give myself a few more weeks to gain a bit more fitness. I love how you've wedged almost every possible metre of vertical ascent within a four-mile radius into the route (though I'd be tempted to throw Benson Road into the mix before Canonbie), but my legs/lungs don't quite love it yet.

    I think we rode every slope in South London while refining the route, including a number of footpaths, council estates, private roads and on at least one occasion, stairs.

    Unfortunately exactly the same process is happening in Edinburgh every Tuesday now
