Please keep in mind that I have to get to the top of the hill in the first place! I also have to come back up this section at night, which I actually enjoy as much as coming down. I do the whole hill out of the saddle. Godd for the 'ol legs!!

Your challenge is to provide us with the equivalent video of you climbing back up the hill!
It's too dark to film
When it gets a bit lighter in the evening I'll show the other side of the hill which is steeper but shorter, I can hit 40+ on that one!

My aim is to try and sped up on my commute...it's only 15 minutes away and I only do it once a week so I might just go out a few nights and put all my energy into it and see what I can do

No the aim is to cycle faster and improve fitness. My average this weekend was about 12mph because I was ill, but usually nearer the 13-15 mark depending on if I can be bothered. I'd quite like to get to a stage where I can keep up with traffic for the majority of the journey (or at least on the bits with a slight down hill slope). Problem is, whenever I cycle by myself I tend to dawdle a bit
It's only a few miles so putting a bit of extra effort in won't wear me out too much - can rest while getting paid at work

From experience it is much better to have the downhill on the way home...

Ah yes, when the wind is against you down the hill and pushing you up the hill...
