Have been doing very hilly long rides to prepare, but nothing compares to an hour slogging up an HC. Might even get the turbo out and do 3x20m sessions, but oh god I can't even bear to think about the horror.
Reps of Brasted Chart are about the best Kent has to offer, I think. Boring going up and down the same hill though... guess I could mix it up with Ide Hill, Back Lane, and even Toys for those nasty ++% bits the cols chuck at you.
Yeah we're talking 1200-1300m climbs, not 2300m!
