Critten Lane, Holmbury St Mary (OK, not much of a hill), the brutal Barhatch Road, and Combe Lane. That'll do for now. Was surprised to discover I'd not climbed Barhatch Road before, notorious as apparently the hardest climb in the area, and marked as 21% and felt like it. I had always assumed I had, but it looked unfamiliar on the map last night, and definitely not I realised as I was halfway up the steep bit. Made the stupid mistake of selecting the 32t rear gear for the 1st (and only) time. 3 seconds later I was back in my normal get-out-of-jail 28t gear (which I never use either). As soon as I was in the 32t gear I was all over the road, going too slowly to maintain balance, so I quickly shifted back up so I could keep going in a straight line. My own fault, I was having a lazy day and chose to be lazy on the steep bit. It was a wake-up call.
Would have gone back round to try Alderbrook Road which comes out at the same place but is longer and slightly less steep and perhaps a better choice for the group ride in April, but it was so cold I decided bugger it and headed for home.
The lazy pace was really just pacing myself as I'm not the fittest or lightest at the moment and I didn't want to wear myself out too early on the climbs.
Apart from the cold (Holmbury St Mary, where I stopped for a bite, was the only time I felt a bit of warmth from the sun), it was a very enjoyable ride. Worth repeating, in company.
