2012-06-23 Swaintoux 2 - 5 rings of pain

North Drinks (and Team Wast) are proud to present Swaintoux 2!

Get ready for gruelling laps of the hills around North London including a double (or triple) Swain's Lane.

In honour of the OLYMPICS we are doing 5 hills (5 rings of pain)

This event will have geared(including SS) and fixed categories; but those riding Fixed will get all the kisses and attention.

(If riding fixed a front brake is mandatory as descending some of the hills will be a nightmare)

Meet at the Alexandra Palace at 9.30am for a 10am start.
Finish at The Flask Highgate (12ish or 1400 if you really suffer!)

Prizes up for grabs.

Even if you don’t fancy racing then come along and support the hardy hill climbers.

What's the route?

How does this work?
How many laps is it?

How many laps is it?

people ride their bikes
probably along the route that has been outlined in the OP

I converted the KML on ridewithgps

Route is essentially down from Ally Pally - Up Muswell Hill then down again.
Up Creighton Avenue through the Woods to Highgate tube.
Through Highgate Village over the top of the heath into Hampstead Village.
Turn left before Belsize Park past the Royal Free.
Up East hill and back over the Heath to Highgate.
Down West Hill and Up Fitzroy Park
Then down West Hill and Up Swain's Lane
Repeat to Fade.

About 12 miles - scenic, a few inclines.

so it's just one loop of the route?

It's not a loop. Starts Ally Pally, finishes at the Flask.

As far as I can tell, anyone with energy left at after that is encouraged to ruin themselves doing laps of West Hill/Swains.

Obviously.

Is this the same day as the burrito ride tibbs mentioned to me on Tuesday? (I genuinely don't know as I think the burrito ride has been organised through Facebook!)

No wait. It's the same day as the Maths Geek Ride. I'm out. Balls.
