Forumenger en route from London to Brighton, riding SS and trying to keep up with his geared mates. We swapped forum names but if you were as tired as me all available brain power was focused on keeping the pedals turning. Was going to catch you up but realised the shortest route was to go down the stairs and join national cycle route 20. Even avoided the dreaded Beacon.

Hello hello! that was me. Congratulations on making it! Oh boy was I in a state when we crossed paths. I wish we'd seen the sense to take the cycle route, instead though, more hills upon hills. We did about 120km in the end and I didn't manage to avoid the beacon....and didn't beat it either...but came close, but if i walked 200 metres out of 120km i don't think that's so bad. But it sure was good to see a friendly face on a fixie.
