Global messengers racing in london.

winston I used it as end of day training, after a day on circuit I would always go flat out up there....in two years I only got passed twice...A Finsbury Park roadie and a whippet-skinny mountain biker.....never worked out how far it is from tube to tube....at least 1k I reckon....so may not be the steepest but possibly the longest climb in London?

I reckon some of the ones round the back of Hampstead Garden Suburb are longer. I used Winnington Road for steady state stuff and Swains Lane for pyramids. Swains Lane is the proper hill. Properly steep and everything. Not this lightweight West Hill nonsense that the young ones think is a real hill. Huh!

Oh, and it's called Archway Road.
