2010-04-11 - The London Classic

I've only just found this thread, when searching for Canonbie Road.

Firstly, I can't believe I missed this event, it looks absolutely brilliant and loads of really neat people were involved. Definitely in for next year!

Secondly, Canonbie Road is brilliant. I spotted it the other day when riding up to the Horniman museum and thought that it would be a good one to put into a training loop. Went out last night and did a few of the hills around there, Overhill Rd, Langton Rise, Westwood Park and Canonbie Rd. Managed it from the steep side on 48 x 19 and really loved it. What a great view as a reward at the top. (I hope that you lot looked back over your shoulder when you had come up it from the other side?)

I only did the circuit once last night but am thinking about ramping that up so that I can start to not die on the Surrey Hills. Anyone fancy joining me?

I sometimes do canonbie road, from the Forest Hill side, round the corner and descending onto Honor Oak Road

Have you tried Eliot Bank? Bit rough at the top but good 'fun'.

I got applause from the Yoot Dem at the top last time as well.
