Could I have an opinion from someone local.
Dawn ride on the hills above Brighton: frozen winter wonderland or hellishly muddy?

Beautifully frozen first thing & then will turn to claggy hell, especially when the sun hits it. Staying pretty crisp on the north side though & in the woods higher up.

I've had that once before; was great until around 11am...

I'd 2nd the above. Last weekend it was horrendous. I could neither walk nor cycle up some hills due to the slippiness of the mud! The grassy bits on the top of some parts may be ok though. I suspect Saturday morning might just be a bit too warm to keep it frozen but you might get lucky.

As above, narrower tyres helped a bit though.

I think the Surrey hills beckon. Cheers lads.
