The worst part of the epping forest drag is the surface, its only a climb in the sense that they call it that on the top tube sticker.
Last year during that stretch I heard a lot of people confusedly asking each other if this was the big climb they were on!

Someone on my cycling group Whatsapp was saying there's a long drag up through Epping Forest and everything else was just a flyover type hill.
At least I'm optimised more for W/CdA than W/kg right now.
Did a 2h ride two weeks ago, and a 3h20 ride today. Both on my commuter as I haven't dug the faster bike out of storage yet. Will aim for a 4h40 ride next weekend and then rely on that to get me 90% of the way there, and then the rest is just sheer bloody mindedness.
Also got a 6:40 start time (6:25 end of load time) so that's me up at sparrow fart and riding the 10k to the start too as there are no early trains into Waterloo on the 28th (first one from near me gets in at 7:36am).
