| I've cycles round there before and you won't catch me doing it again in a hurry. All credit to you for "wanting" to do it though. |

I remember cycling to see that TT at "The Wall" last year with Andy and a bunch of cyclists from the Gallery. It was quite impressive. Cycling to the event was plenty enough for us though...  So that's a no, thanks from me I think... |

| Cudham Hill, LOL! Remember that really steep bit we went down on the LSST bike ride ages ago? That was the easy way. It's just down the road from me, it's a beast. Not as bad as Westerham Hill, methinks. |

| There was one that comes out just outside some airfield. What's the name? It was quite tough IIRC. |

But the route is published, so just pick a day between now and the end of March, and have a good ride. And this way you get to choose a day when its not icy or wet. |

| I'm sort of tempted to try the route too, but I'm crap at descending, you may have to wait for me at the bottom |

| It'd be more fun to have just a bunch of us going at our own pace. I'm tempted too now... |
