This sounds pretty dangerous. I reckon I am in. Depends on the wife she has been makinf noises recently about me being more into my bike than her. She has a point I guess!
There are about 3 hills which are no problem and then there is this Ditchling Beacon. I would say that it would be physically impossible to get up the Beacon with a gearing much over about 72. I was worried about the Beacon and I will say that it was much much worse than what I was expecting!
Hope that ain't put you off though
