Road Rides/Races

I live round the corner form Swiss Hill and I reckon it's 20%+ in places (where there are houses are on the left about half way up). It's short (only takes a couple of minutes) but it's brutal, especially if the cobbles are damp. I wouldn't want to do it fixed, struggle on my road bike.

i was gonna say after looking it up i must say it must be teh cobbles that make it hard, in lewes teh road form teh station to the highstreet is half the lenght and about the same % and i got up it first try, ok i died at the end. but did it SS can't be THAT hard can it?
