http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_points_in_London

I happened upon this today, in my online journey, and had a truly terrible idea.
For those of you who are too lazy to click on the link, it's a list of the highest hills in the county of London. Out of interest, I mapped them out, and it looks like it would be a 114 mile ride all around the outskirts of our fair city.
Now, only a dumb ass would want to do this, but I can think of several dumb asses (myself included) and I think if there are enough of us we should set a date and do some climbing (and possibly even some walking).

If 114 miles seems too far (don't forget this will not leave you on your doorstep, you'll have to ride home), then I say we exclude any that don't have a London postcode.

What sayeth you?

Where do I sign up? You been up Maze Hill yet? Awful business... Did my first proper hill (London standards) in over a year today, enjoyed it immensely...

BTW, Joe was the inspiration for this ride, I was interested in which of us had done a more brutal hill today and found that wiki page (BTW, Joe won).

Happily, I was wrong. Wicked idea.

Not you, dude... The Canadian WItch... ;D

I'm in cuz I decided to be damos stalker, and I am already missing out stalking when he does the IOW randonnee

BTW I can't ride up hills...

Part of me is worried how slow this will be. Forum rides seem to average 10 miles an hour on the flat.

Joe

I am sure you can find another way to get you and your bike up a hill other than riding it.

BTW I can't ride.

ftfy

^ Banned x 2... + Neg reps...

Maybe you should go terrorise the Dynamo forum, Dancing Merckx?

Yeah, fuck off already...
