Don't worry about Leith Hill, its not as bad as everyone say's, just get into a low gear and keep peddling. The downhill is ACE.
RideLondon - Surrey 100 anyone?

I dispute this!
Leith Hill is horrible!The downhill IS fun though. Newlands Corner has my favourite downhill section, so much fun. Box Hills is a bit of a wet fish, till you get to that Headley Heath down and up section.
Two of my cables weren't having any of this "going behind anything" business, so they got front seat, got the number decently visible behind, with the two lackey cables, game for anything, sitting behind the ticket.

I see your dilemma, your cables seem longer than mine. any way it looks ok to me. Nice bike BTW.

@CarlP - Cheers mate, its done me well this last year, albeit with a bit of naughty squeeking, and 3 BBs! I saw bikes today at the ExCel though that made me want to *whispers* replace her, but then I came to my senses and changed the wish to n+1!
You going with a GoPro on the bike? Hope you get some nice footage.

There was some nice bling at the show, to be sure.
I am going with the GoPro on the bars, but set for photos, not video, and just at the start and the finish, I don't want to faffing around with it all day.

Yeah the battery life is the only thing holding me back from getting one. You can get up to 4.5 hrs at 1080p with the extended battery pack thing you plug in the back, but I think 100 miles in 4.5 hrs is a liiiiitle bit optimistic!
When they get it up to 8 hrs Im in!

Battery life is pants, I have two batteries, I shant use it much though I want to enjoy the ride, rather than worry about the camera.

If anyone is doing the ExCel show tomorrow (Saturday) find the Club La Santa stand and do the competition. You write your name and contact email for entry to win a cycling holiday thing in New York and they give you an absolutely superb 100 Years of the Tour De France magazine. 200 pages with seemingly every year covered.
Easy to miss.
