What ratio do people find best for going up the hill?

Around 52/16, something fairly light, brakeless of course wouldnt be a death tt otherwise.

I ground up it 50/16 last time I was Norths. Not that bad really, just a little sweatier than usual by the time I got to the top.
Booked up on the Tuesday which is a shame, because I'd quite like to give demolishing 3 pizzas a go.

Last years times if anyone is looking to beat their record:

Thanks to all who made our 1st Birthday a truly special night, I was amazed to see so many people up the hill! We even got a visit from our glorious leader, nice to finally meet you VB.

The Death TT was if full effect, as was the Pukes On Cock T-Shirt!

Congrats to all the winners and all who took part.
Thanks to Madison for the prizes, Arvy for the Cohiba's and everyone who bought me a drink :)

London Bridge to The Flask:

Boring, Busy but absolutely Foolproof:

No Swains Lane? Mikey, you can't go easy on them just cos they're soft southerners.

highgate hill will do just fine.

Alternatively - here's another route that's a bit fiddlier but has Suicide Bridge and Arsenal and lots of lovely Regency Squares, Punk's famous Hope & Anchor, Britannia Row studios (where Pink Floyd recorded Another Brick In The Wall), the Canal and the Bank of England.

Again 6.5 miles - but you will get lost.
