did the L2B this year on my road bike and from memory ditchling was nowhere near as steep as the hills on our hillclimb ride. i managed to climb it on 42x23 i think.
id say 48x16 will carry you through as i remember there were loads of long descents and just that one major climb. walk ditchling. long fast downhill after that. go well ahead and setup nets at the bottom for those going breakless
missing out...wish i was doin this.
