Between Whitley and Shiremoor is practically flat. Ok, the slope is gradual but lasts a while. Just take it easy up Norham Rd.
You need practice bosshogg. Get out there on a slightly low gear, after a couple of months you'll be able to swap the rear cog and you'll never look back. Dont go for anything lower than a 66" gear to start with, its just not worth it.
