i got last chase place on the ride yesterday, i'm going fixed on 48-16 because i don't have any other options. how does the ditchling compare to getting up hampstead heath to the flash?

Quickly figured these out off the net. Swain's Lane is the steepest route up to Highgate, probably knock a couple of percent off the gradients for the others...

```
                  Swain's Lane     Ditchling
```
Length 0.6m 0.9m
Total climb 223ft 523ft
Avg gradient 7% 11%
Max gradient(ish) 15% 23%[/code]I'm doing the overnight one at the end of the month on 48:18 (about 70"). Can manage the run up to Highgate without killing meself now, but grinding up the steeper bits of Ditchling will be something else. Can't decide if I'm looking forward to that bit or not.
