I assume you mean out of Streatley, rather than Goring - that is Streatley Hill, number 24 in the list of 100 best climbs in the UK. I’ve done it a few times with a full complement of gears, although only needing the granny ring and gear - it’s a tough climb!
Good bodge work too, shows the benefits of carrying some tools. ![Thumbs Up](images/smiles/thumb_up.gif) |
yeah Streatley hill. I attacked it, I was going to fly up it, I giggled as I passed the cyclists walking.
I got halfway up and thought this is tougher than I remember, it's like a mini Wrynose Pass. Then I had doubts that I'd make it after all, and then I started to think I'd have to get off and walk too then I dropped down more gears just before the private driveway, and then fell off. |
