- 28 000 cyclists all with the same goal but with different reasons for taking part
- the sheer number of people can be intimidating but it is also exhilarating
- you never see most of the other cyclists
- you do chat to a few who seem responsive
- there is an element of competition though it is not a race
- some pace themselves, others go flat out
- some walk up Ditchling Beacon, others are fit enough to cycle
- ...but either way they get there
- some fall by the wayside (literally!)
- there is lots of support on the way

Enjoyed this John! ...and the ones who have been there before pass on encouragement and set the behavioural tone?
