    Hi John, I'm also doing the ride in September, and have actually ridden parts of the route as thu are local to me or my buddy who is also riding. The downs link section from cranleigh to shireham is quite easy, nothing technical and gentle ups and downs. The part from weybridge to cranleigh is a bit more challenging with a fair few hills and some sandy sections. The ups are quite rooty and stony in places. The hill at about 67 miles in is quite challenging to say the least.

    I'm not sure if the route will be the same as previously but I found the route on everytrail.com from last year.
