Hi according to the LWDC website - Ox Uni have a HC on the watlington hill this sunday. (16/10/05 1.00pm) Does anyone know if this is still on and whether...
Still under consideration, and possible with suitable negotiations with wife !! Is the course as used by Oxonians (start at the white gate) or Reading (start...
Dear Dave, I'm not longer organising these events but last year we used the Oxonian course. I'm not sure where the other would start. Numbers will be at the...
Dave, I quote the London West Yearbook: "Start on the monor road south-east from Watlington, leading to Christmas Common, at a point opposite a lamp post 10...

I went to take a look at the hill today and spent some time trying to make any sense of the officiial course details I quoted. Using the grid references I...

Hi Chris Reading used the start you refer to (near enough) Its Oxo's (or Oxford City i suppose) that used the white gate, this year and last year. The...
We've used the 'whitegate' start ever since they put it there, and we use the Park Farm gate for the finish. You have to be careful how you park a car there...

Dave, It looks as though the White Gate version is better. Reading were so far from home that the one they used was probably based on the old course details....

Dear All, Having ridden the course with both start locations, I think neither is ideal. The white gate is a good ways from the foot of the hill and the run-up...

Didn't make it out there, but i reckon 4.25 would have been far too quick for me. Last time i rode the white gate version, (Oxo event) did 4.44, Mark Jones won...
Eli, Thank you. That is just what I wanted. I shall go and look at the spot you have suggested. I can see the point of avoiding a long flat stretch when...

As someone who doesn't own a fixed. I don't mind a bit of flat.(In fact my favourite HC both have a bit of downhill) However the most important thing is to get...
Richard, Your ambition to promote an Open was very much in my mind and Eli's recommendation should make it easy to settle on the best place to start. I...

For those of you who didn't know, Zak Carr was killed an a road accident yesterday. Very sad news. http://www.bcf.uk.com/news/2005/10_October/13_Zak.shtml ...
My two pence worth on the Watlington course is that I'd be happy to see the start point left at the white gate rather than starting somewhere entirely new. As...

And what gear did you use Sunday.. I found that starting at the white gate is better with fixed anyway, allows you toget the gear turning before the steepest...
I was on a 42X21, which was good for the rest of the hill but not great for the start. The start I suggested would cut ~20-30m of flat but would not force you...
I use 36x16 (I don't have any other sprokets etc.) I found that OK last year so it's probably my lack of fittness and the moderate head wind that made me...

I felt really overgeared for the second event this year (starting on the corner). Although was considerably quicker. (3.46 as opposed to 4.44 starting at the...
... 54 inches ... That's 64.1 inches I had 39x20 recommended to me for this climb, which is 52.6 and seems a little low for fixed, more like the size of gear...
