Whoops. I missed the shortcut so ended up going up Leith Hill which is the biggest on the ride. Once I had successfully climbed that beauty (actually easier than Ditchling Beacon for those that have done the London to Brighton) I knew I’d be able to complete the full 100 miles. Which I did much to my surprise in just over 7 hours including stops.

The official proof and my Garmin evidence.

Plus riding to and back from the event I totalled 108 miles yesterday. Consequently and without too much detail…I am a little tender in places and exhausted.

Thanks for all the generous donations so far – for those that went for per mile sponsorship you can do that on the Just Giving website.

Cheers! Rob.
