Does anyone know the Sussex Tri bike route? I've not been able to get down there to check it out. Are there any nasty hills? Is it all well signposted? Any big roundabouts or junctions? Other gotchas?
Was thinking I might drive down there tomorrow and suss it out perhaps, but if all of the above are a no, then it's probably not worth the effort.

Quite hilly, with two nasties about half-way through.
Very well sign posted, it's basically left-turns all the way with marshals at each turn.
Small roads, very pretty, goes under the Haywards Heath viaduct
Definitely worth a suss-out if you've not done it before.
What's your start time on Sunday?

Starting really early - &.40. Will be long finished before you start I think (at least, that's the theory ;o)). Will come over to cheer you on. Hope you have a great race yourself - know you were stressing a wee bit the other day, but you'll be fine. Enjoy it!
For a heads up though, once you have gone under the railway bridge which I think is at about 18km, you start climbing a hill. A short way up the hill, you take a left turn. Make sure you are in a low gear, as the road rises steeply for a few metres.
Very nervous, and certainly not ready, but with a lovely sunny day forecast and a favourite bike route to do, am FINALLY really looking forward to it.
Good luck all - maybe see you there? Me = small, blonde, short legs, classic Celeste Bianchi, cheap Orca tri-suit, 40-45 age group, scared-looking.
