Leckhampton Hill

leckhampton9

This is some hill- rising from the flooplain up to 260-300 metres, it starts off at 10/15%. It was hard enough in my fiesta a few years ago. Part of the training involves climbing hills without standing out of the saddle, as that will be virtually impossible with the extra weight of bags on the back wheel. So, I climbed up there sat in the saddle. I've probably climbed more metres in the last four days than I did in two years in Essex, so this is definitely the right place to train for the Alps.
