lobly hill bank just off the A1. pretty steep, but also very busy at times. shibdon and blaydon bank, again, pretty steep, but a few corners, should get a good run from shibon bank tho

It is all downhill from the fog on the Tyne isn't it ?

 

[Richardp]

slogger! surely your not afraid of a few potholes? it'll make it more exciting

How about Sutton Bank near Thirsk on the Thirsh to Scarbrough Rd thats steep!!!!

 

[andy]

or maybe a parachute jump. thatll test the speed to the max and there wont be any bumps on the way down (until you get down...)

Do recumbents have saddles?

 

[kendor]

there's a nice big hill round my way slogger and it ends up on a busy dual carriageway so you'll be able to test how efficient your brakes are or not

an a big Kestrel swooping down pecking at you slogger too ..lol

How about Ditchling Beacon, I cycled up it once and that was hard work!!!
