You might think about leaving early, but that might not be possible if you're doing it officially and have a set time. Ditchling has quite a variable gradient I seem to remember, some if it quite steep, and there are a few twists and turns before the top. In terms of overall distance it's not that long, but it can be punishing at the end of a long ride.
