Mark,
Thanks from me too it must have felt like herding cats at times! I look forward to the next installment of torture. Titsey Hill reps or Station Road, Woldingham?

Well, I enjoy a bit of coldharbour, leith, white down and box. Not quite octopussing, but nasty enough! I'll stick with Tuesday Fountain hill reps for now though. Must practice my sprinting too!

Libby's right. The gpx looks like a sock I tried to knit when I was 12.

I'd be keen to give it a go! www.strava.com/activities/72390225?hl=en-GBThe last version was advertised as '29 Cols of Crystal Palace' I think we made 20 odd before a combination of Saturday traffic and the denizens of Crystal Palace festival won the day.

Yes that was fun! Maybe next time we need to start earlier and have a couple of ride leaders as there's no way that you'll get 30-50 riders through all those traffic lights on one phase! This will make the Leith Hill Octopus look like a GPS doddle!

Yeah 20 cols was a great way of sampling some of the climbs on our doorstep but I think the next iteration needs to start at 6am on a Sunday - by 9am there was heavy traffic and lots of enraged motorists which made it a bit less fun

I'd be up for that - maybe in a few weeks when it's light at 6?

Are you going to float a potential date?
