    Current version. Would skip the first hill if there are people without decent lights.

    Requires riding past one no cycling sign but have an alt-route if people feel strongly.

  • What time is this being run then, still 18:45?

  • This looks mad.

  • yep

    18-45 depart from HHV pavilion

  • Should be similar length, ascent and rhythm.

    There's options to skip a few bits if I've got it wrong!

  • I will try to make an appearance

  • Cheers. Considering it, but I think I'm overgeared for hill runs like this one...

  • 72GI is spot on for this stuff, so anywhere around that will be alright.

    when I say "this stuff" I mean the classic route....

  • I'm on 75 I think - from experience, that's good for flats (which is what I 'optimised' it for) with the occasional hill, but to just go up and down hills... a bit on the high side, if you value your knees! Still tempted to give it a go though. From the initial description, this is not necessarily going to be the Sagan hill sprint awards, right?

  • With a bit of discussion, I'm sure you could arrange it so everyone wins one hill.

  • Nonsense Hill but no Rock Hill?
    Westwood Park but no Ringmore Rise?
    DOWN Horniman ?

    HARUMPH.

  • Just to clarify:
    this is mad.
    I am impressed with the collection of ALL the Fox Hill side streets

  • I've been on hills rides with @Ecobeard and the only sprint is the one to the pub

  • This also applies to track league

  • Not at all

    its meant to be intervals. So easy on the flat then do what you like/can on the hills.

    Then drop everyone on the way to the pub, yet somehow not be the first at the bar......

  • So easy on the flat

    What flat :D :D

  • Anything less than 10% :)

  • Phew thank god, turns out it's a flat ride after all. :P

  • A few stragglers today so will be a 19-00 depart from HHV pav

  • Wanted to come, got held up at work, and now it's too late. :/ Maybe next time.

  • Subbed
    might join you at Ivy House after the brixton version :)

  • Some evening

    An experiment that will live long in the memory- well done @inappropriate_bike

  • Good spin, nice to meet everyone!

  • So many people.
    It was like an homage to earlier days.

    Thank you, it was lovely. Sorry for sloping off after canonbie. I saw the chance for bedtime by 10 (I'm an old man). I got home and there were still a thousand jobs to do.
    Moral of the hills: go the pub after.
