Hill Climbs

SPIKEY!

3 minutes is a fairly long climb....

It’ll be amazing*

*Can’t guarantee this.

A kind of hill climb pub crawl

hey guys, my lass is thinking about racing the East London Velo Mott Street race next sunday. Does anyone know what the segment is likely to be? We dont live near, but might head up for a ride this weekend to check it out.

Catford CC Hill Climb on Yorks Hill, near Ide Hill this Sunday morning shortly followed by the Bec CC Hill climb later in the afternoon on White Lane in Titsey.

Something close to this;

Amazing! Thanks very much.

Top tip: Go HAAM on the first ramp, recover on the flat section, HAAM on the second ramp. Don't give up before the line, ride right through it.

Probs see you next week :)

I think Mott Street was were I went way too hard first minute or so haha

Everytime.
I hate that hill.

My season seemed to be how best not to tackle each climb, 39th all time on first half 682nd on the full climb

😂 sounds like my 2017 National HC, beat Dan Evans up the first half then absolutely died in the second.

Hahaha I think you witnessed how happy I was at the end of it!
I do need these tiles so maybe I’ll head out.

Yeah come along, I’m just riding out on the road bike, no turbo or anything, just for fun. Probs do an Essex loop after if you’re game.

Yeah that could be good. I’ll see what I can work and get back to you in the week.

Managed a 2:23 up it just then. Felt like a proper race effort 🤢

Catford CC Hill Climb on Yorks Hill

What time does it start? May be riding round the area quite early in the morning but assume (much) too early to see any of the action!

Do you ride a carbon Look by any chance?

Catford CC Hill Climb on Yorks Hill

Rode up it today, they're gonna have a right old laugh on that tomorrow. Damp, muddy, covered in chestnuts 👍

I think it gets a brush before the event, i rode it after rain the night before 2 years ago and was fine - no slipping!

It’s a horrible hill through….

Good luck to all those competing tomorrow, I’m on the list but under the weather so will be a DNS

Yeah! What were you riding?

Amazing! You fucking smashed it up there! I rode past on a purple r753 Peugeot when you were dying at the top. My partner was on a celeste and pink steel affair.

Ah nice yeah, hello 👋🏻

That purple pug is lovely

Who qualified for national championships then?
