I'll ride this for sure. I nearly nailed Rose Hill t'other day, got to within 200m of the top and had to stop.
Try going from Oldbury Asda to The Amber Tavern on the Hagley Rd, torture. Harborne Hill is easy enough fixed. The hill round the back of the Bull Ring past Moor St station is hard cause you have to slow a bit on the approach due to buses/sharp left turn (pedal strike risk). Then you have to dodge dickhead pedestrians who cross on a green...
Other savage hills are Barnes Hill (long...), the Bristol Rd into Selly Oak from Northfield way, Great Charles St.
Used to do a savage hill run when I lived in Sutton, now I live in harborne and go the selly oak-bristol rd-pershore rd way to work I get the above hills in loads.
Lets do this hard hill run!
