This was my first year riding the BHF london to Brighton, did it fixed and only saw two other people riding it fixed! Saw a few single speed lot.
Ended up being told at one of the marshal points that if we went straight on instead of turning left it was 2 miles longer but no hectic build ups (unfortunately our start time was 9:30am!) So we ended up taking a big ol' detour and going through Crawley, nice open roads though (even though it was more than a 2 mile detour) and then we rejoined at Turners Hill.
Good laugh but insanely frustrating for the most part, people riding with cleats that have no idea how to, got cut up more times than I care to remember, but the atmosphere was good and spirits were high mostly! Awesome to see strangers encouraging each other up hills etc.
