Is Rose Hill hard to climb?

Just about right I'd say for an out of shape trackie who's ridden <100miles since August last year.

@Void - Will definately be up for that at some point

I do a similar route all the time, it's about the right distance for me. It is too short though, in the sense that you go through some fairly nice countrysidey areas, but sadly not enough before you come back to the 'orrible grey built-up traffic-rich areas.
