Good stats, thanks. Nice to have it confirmed that Chalkpit is the most evil. It's all so-so for a while (well, at least 10%), then you hit a 25% hairpin, and then it feels like a constant 20% for ages.
Fine, as long as you don't meet one of the psychotic lorries from the quarry - there's been quite a lot of local community action to make the road safer and get the drivers to behave more responsibly. Most of the time you go up it, there's not another soul on the road.
Hogtrough is a bit boring. The little ramp after the Pilgrims Way is exciting, but a bend or something would be nice :S
