I'm heading on the train ,there are 5 trains leaving around 6am to London , get off at Clapham Junction and its a nice 5 k warm up ride to the start, leaving my car in secure storage at the finish. I am so hoping for no rain ???

What tyres are you guys running? I did it last year and it was bone dry. I want to go for my usual fast rolling summer tyres, but don't want to get caught out if it's muddy.

I got hutchinson toro 2.35's they are quite quick rolling and good grip if its wet! Rode the downs link on sunday and averaged 12.5mph, took just under 3 hours for 37 miles so ill be sticking with those (+ i dont have any others lol)
