While I like the idea, I won't be fit to ride the morning after

No hangovers for us, so all being well and the tentative area arrangements hold, we'll be up for it.

Tis a good point. I should add a caveat that I'll only lead you round when I feel fit to ride or should that be if....

IIRC we done that hill last september on the dorset doddle, i had no idea what was coming and did not find it too bad at all, just as Fizz says keep your speed down on the corners. Although they are tight you would have to be a nutter to try and get to knee down speeds on them.

the best bit is the fast sweeping section on the newly surfaced road

have no fear Ed my Kwak and your 675 should at least make us look ok to good rders on the hill
