Inevitably, the clue is in the name of the Wiggle Ups and Downs sportive. It’s an early-season test like few others and its many climbs and descents will get the heart racing no matter what. The tight and technical turns in the fast country lanes add to a great variety of climbing roads in the North and South Downs on a great test of a route.
This ride starts out in Dorking but avoids the zig-zags of Box Hill in favour of lesser-explored areas of Surrey. Sections of the 2012 Olympic road race remain all the same, as you’ll begin the first few miles by heading west across the North Downs.
The route explores hidden country lanes in and around Surrey before cropping up near Godalming – you won’t enter the urban area, instead it’s time to head to the South Downs. You’ll go as far down as Wisborough Green, and into Sussex, before surfacing and edging back into Surrey, where the remainder of the testing hills present themselves near the end of the route.

They love putting various road works signs on the cycle lane over Caversham Bridge. Mostly for things that don't really relate to the cyclists.
One of the closest passes I have seen on here....

Since it's still a BSO, I don't the slightly compressed version being accepted as luggage.
As it's a parallel crossing, the driver does of course have exactly the same obligation. Though I think perhaps you are being ironic. HWC195.
I won a set of the Aces in a BC competition a few years ago (before I moved to Cycling UK). Used them a couple of times before giving up for above...
Yes I missed the daylight saving. Hope I didn't advantage anyone. Had to disappear well before race start so I didn't pick it up. All times were...
Yeah! Get a couple more wheels (or a motor) - that's the way to freedom / romance / sex....
