Hi. Yes, from the bottom of Linden Road up to the top and down Leinster Road and across Cranley Gardens to go back up Linden Road again. Note 2.5 laps to 3 up and 2 down.
For people who care about their time on strava, be aware that but the finish is actually slightly down Leinster Road again.Picture below:

There's always time...... I don't know you guys, but I've been told I'm working from home until Q2 2021, so i'll definitely be up for an escape from the house hill climb to keep my sanity.
Went back to this week's hill , luckily the no festivities this time:

Nice and easy 48x17 = 74.924"
Was strange having to be reserved on the down hill section 🙂

Went for an attempt....
Just so happens I chose the same time as Clap for the NHS which was followed by a nice little 60th birthday Linden Road Street Party.
Ended up having to bail out of the attempt due to the celebrations, but I did stop to clap, watch and sing happy birthday 🎂
Lovely to see a nice community getting together 🙂

Sorry all, I didn't realise I was up this week.
Ummm.... I've decided to mix it up a little bit this week, so instead of 1 steep hill section, it will be a segment that consists of 2.5 laps of a 11% avg up & 11% avg down loop.
Here is the segment:

It's a fun one!
Only had 1 go at it as I was being cooked in the sun but it was fun!
Half way up by the corners, I had to dodge a family of 8 sprawled all over the road pushing their bikes up but after narrowly missing some of them, I had a good attempt non the less.It's one of those you can spend a while there and have multiple attempts to try shave some seconds off, especially when the KOM seems achievable to those of you that are keen hill climbers! 😉
I did 34sec @ 52x17 = 81.167"

Just had a crack at it....

2:01 @ 48x17= 74.924"
Actually a segment I was considering. Fun segment! Starts easy, finishes easy but with a lovely steepish bit through the tree cover in the middle :)
Tried to go for a fast time and nearly collapsed at the top from wheezing too much 🥴 haha
Defo recommended a giving it a go if you're in the area!

Managed to have a crack at it this evening although it definitely not as eventful as @Ruserius
48x17 = 74.924"
Stole the KOM by a scandalous 1 second with 4:13. (Sorry @Ruserius )
Luckily I didn't go all out and behaved myself on the bottom section, so I had that little bit left in the tank for the steep top tracks which was very much needed.
I was a bit shocked and questioned my navigation when the segment disappeared off road up the mud path through the trees. Thankfully I was right and made it up without stopping although i had to grind it out at the top.
Nice little area at the top with some good views :)

Managed to sneak off from work for a quick effort this morning.
1:07 @ 48x17 = 74.924"
Forgot to get the photo with a view from the top because I had to run back for a meeting.

Might have another crack at it at the weekend. Sub 1 would nice but probably a pipe dream. :)

I'm after a Shimano 11-34 Cassette (11 Speed) new or very good condition.
Anyone got one in the London area?
