I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have done that hill on a 53x39 standard double before but I usually stick a big girlie cog on the back because I like spinning.

For most of us it will be a 10-20 min climb with a nice run up but the odd sharp section that will get you out of the saddle so just back off, pick your line and get the pacing right, job's a good 'un:

I mucking about and being a bit of a drama queen :roll:

I am expecting daj to put on a truly memorable ride seeings I'm coming 1000 miles just to be with you lot. I'm also expecting there to be no potential riders with lame excuses about stuff like "my bikes been put away for the winter" just so they can get out of riding up a few slopes.
