I'd have taken anything to get up that bastard hill. Who puts a 20 % ramp in front of the finish line. The Clubs facebook page has quite a few pics of folk that have literally had to Climb off. 30m before the line!
I was in a slower Group last year. So sprinted up dropping everyone like a boss. This year I cleverly followed an attack on the flat, went around him at the base of the Climb, then parked 2/3rds up it, and watched half a dozen guys ride past me.

Most fun race/sportive I've had in ages. Chasing Down the main Group in a bunch of 6. All as fecking stupid as myself, was awesome. Everyone swearing encouragment at each other. Everyone in serious danger of cracking at any minute. Me forgeting my Norwegian and just screaming 'fooooking puuush!' at everyone.
Popped 30m from the finish line on a 20% ramp. Which was Nice.
