@ mikec - doubtful. I've just taken my shallow drops/hoods off, and stuck on track bars in readiness for HH. I'm also looking into experimenting with... GEARS! on the hills this year. Shock fucking horror.
You should make a date to ride down to the next Catford hillclimb in October, and watch how fast the hillclimbing elites get up 1 in 4s :O
Judging by the way you rode up the climbs on your 48x17, and with regular loaded ascents of HHW, you'll have no problems grinding up Ditchling. I think one of our group on the 50x14 ride did it in 48x16.
