Hill training advice please?

Join a gym. Get on the upright bike and crank it up to max.
This way, you are only a crawl away from the changing rooms, and the gym staff can operate a defibrilator.

I may just have to use this as my new training regime

Yep - did that on my turbo - but spend 10minutes warming up before you go to max setting , I went straight into it and stopped after 15minutes with spots in front of the eyes and a desire to fall over.

Blimey got caught out today hit a hill that really knocked it out of me. Pebble Hill near Boxhill. Not sure it was the actual hill but the way I came at it meant I had been climbing a few miles before I hit it, and having never ridden it before I had no clue what the last bit was like!! I was praying as I crawled up it that it ended after the bend..

Pebblecomb Hill is indeed a bugger of a climb. Last time I did it I also attacked it too fast. Nearly got off and walked but just about made it. Last year when travelling to watch the Olympic Road race, we climbed it twice.

I don't think I have even gone up Pebblecombe, only down (which can be dicey, at the best of times). Rather you, than me!
