Claus, I very much doubt I would be able to get up Swains lane without getting out the saddle. In fact, I know I couldn't. Highgate Hill is not as steep, its a more gradual longer hill. I have been climbing it slowly after work to build up leg strength. I am going to have a bash on the turbo on Sunday I reckon. The trouble is with the turbo, when I use it, all hell breaks lose. The wife starts shouting about the noise and the cat runs under the bed fearing for its dear life! The one I have always makes me fel that I am going to be catapulted off it and through the neighbours wall!
