As previously posted I am going to do a Sportive in 2009, I plan to ride the sportive route a few times beforehand in April/May but until then can anyone point me at the best hills to practise on?
In order of preference I am ideally looking for
Very quiet traffic - safer for me to wobble all over the road
Steep - on the principle of the more I practice the better I will get.
Long - although I don't really think we have any in this country.
I guess I could spend a day or two driving around the peaks with a couple of o/s maps but I am sure I would probably miss some real good ones or just spend the time 'enjoying' the roads in the car.
