Some bloke drafted me up Stamford Hill this morning. I don't mind being drafted, but I was in first gear on a vintage Raleigh! I guess he wasn't in a hurry

you can draft uphill?
'first gear'?
that used to be one of my routes, Stamford Hill followed by the one up toward Camden, happy days getting slowly fitter, that Stamford Hill one was always taxing though, I'd get up it quicker and quicker but was generally ever so slightly knacker at the top and would actually slow down on the flat bit, that strange wasteland of concrete and tower block leading to Finsbury Park

Don't ask me, it's not something that's a big feature of sit up and beg life. Maybe he was a pervet then!
Ah, that's the other way to me this morning, I'm heading South to work.
Uplands Road going out of Hornsey is the steepest road I know round here. Luckily not one I have to use very often.

I found that road while going from Ally Pally to Finsbury Park. I did it in 2 steps with one stop 2/3rds up.
