Thats actually Itford Hill you went up from Southease Station. Firle Beacon is officially the road from your finishing point down to Firle village....brutal climbs, whichever you do!
Its horrible all the way up! I much prefer the downhill 😁 Couple of my mates are top 10 strava times up there...they fly! They also do the strava segment where its 10 times (I think) up and down it in one go! Mad.
@@themuddycyclist We also did the SDW ride last summer, and the two big hills further over before Eastborne are just as tough, if not more after this one. Especially in 30° heat! 🥵
I love that last climb, gives you a nice burning pain in your legs, am I crazy for liking that feeling...
No, not crazy, just a cyclist 😁

Oh I didn’t realise that, though this is one of the toughest climbs on the South Downs Way. It just seems to go on & on.....

@@drewcripps8214 Bloody hell!
@@drewcripps8214 Not wrong, the SDW has many tough climbs, hard to pick the hardest.
nice shot man,, just saw your IG profile! it looks flat but challenging! I really like to pedal these kinds of trails,,
Thanks, trust me it wasn’t flat! Think GoPro flattens everything.
Yes, GoPro can render a slightly deceiving footage, still, looks fun!
