I was yesterday linking some hills and it's nearly done. I might go tomorrow Thursday to do a complete lap and post the link for others to try. It's around 6.5km and around 250 metres climbing. 5 steep hills, some of them take more than 2 minutes and others are more than 20% gradient. All this punishments is rewarded with fast downhill sections. can be done in 30 minutes

Been doing the king William road hill too work this week... That's a big hill, and have the parked cars in the bike lane + inches away from you when passing...

Do they pass you fast? Cars passing very close scares me.

273 metres ascent.
Lap time 26:35.
Av. speed 13.6km/h
Max. speed 50.4km/h!! Faster than Danny Hart :clap:

I'll upload it over the weekend

Hi guys,


http://connect.garmin.com/activity/118224338

Basically, it´s almost all up and downs with a few flat surfaces. Check out the max speed at the downhill parts :crazy:

It starts on the two obelisks and going downhill. The first uphill is the steepest and hardest to keep front wheel on the ground and after that it´s my favourite downhill part! Second hill (2.44km) is done also at the end (5.11km). There are great views on top of 3rd hill (3.59km). 4th hill has some roots at the top. Same downhill at 4.18km and 4.89km.

To make it harder I think I can link the end of the last hill (5.48km) with the end of the first downhill (0.64km) but this is another chapter.

I can take you for a loop anytime in the afternoon from Tuesday. Also happy to do it next Sunday. We´ll take it easy.

Hiya Javi!

I am back on the bike this week. I had a good ride with the lads today and looks like i am healed up.

Very unfit, but keen to get back to hills mate!

Give me a shout sometime this week if you get a chance, if I don't do it first. I tried ringing you, but no answer.

Cheers

Hi Javi

I think tomorrow afternoon might be good for me if you're still thinking of hitting the loop - and after 4pm good for me.

Let me know when you're back from España if it's on! I'll need to check where to meet too.

Cheers!

Jordan
