Longest Hill?

Yeah, I remember during the Tour of Britain stage a year or so ago there were riders weaving all over the road, half the peleton cracked and got swept up by the broomwagon, and GB's great hope sadly died of oxygen deprivation and too many SIS energy gels. Cyclists still make the pilgrimage from all over Europe to leave their water bottles as a tribute by the memorial outside The Flask.

Really it's more of a adventure cycling climb and bad call to include it in the race by the tour organisers. If you or I were to attempt that climb unprepared with no crampons, survival vest .e.t.c in case of bad weather, (your good self should no how quickly bad weather can blow in up Highgate Hill west) I would have very little sympathy if either of us ran into trouble. I don't think the teams had the risks fully explained to them hence the the tragedy which unfolded.

The tour of Briton organisers have blood on their hands and they know it. This is why they kept this years K.O.M to the rise nr tower Bridge. Thank god they did. Brish cycling could not take another hit like the Highgate disaster.
