Hi
I know that the course is very hilly and i'm trying to weigh up what bike to use .
Is is better to use a compact with better gearing ( Trek Madone 3.5 ) because of all the hilly terrain or a double TT bike ? Just wondering if there would be more gains in using my TT bike because of the aero position and fast down hills ?? Anyone who has advice or who had ridden the course on either gearing please message.
I guess there will be comments of "get yourself down to Exmoor and try both bikes". I intend to- just wanted some opinions
Thanks : )

It's hilly, but only in the second half of the loop, the first half it's aero bars all the way
