Step 1: Build hill Step 2: Profit

To accomodate a reasonable length at 40% it's going to need to be around 400ft.

What is 400ft in proper money?

Something like this? Hung off the side of a multi-storey car park.
Getting round that loop could be tricky, but there is precedent.

What is 400ft in proper money?

A bit over 6 chains.

Far be it for me to oversimplify things but ......

 

[KneesUp]

What is 400ft in proper money?

1800 metres pre-brexit. Now 1200 hands.

I have wondered similar. I sometimes look at "iconic" alpine climbs on telly and think "pah, that's not very steep". Missing the point that it goes on ... and on.

(Well, I wonder in metres, as elevations in feet mean absolutely nothing to me, but each to their own)

Think in terms of a male size ten!

I'm thinking that a worked-out mine might be better. With a bit of imagination, you could have both up and down tracks and double your profit. View attachment 374753

How about the crater from a large asteroid impact?

Oh, @blazed ... How I've missed you.

I think you're missing a trick. Could you not just attach scoops to the back wheel of your turbo trainer, set it at a suitable incline in a farmer's field in Hertfordshire, and use the tremendous power you generate to excavate the incline yourself? Plus, you could compress all the earth deposited next to the hole and make the climb twice as long?

I'll join you to carve out a "nursery slope".

I wear size 12s

Use someone elses feet then.

I'd totally pay to cycle repeatedly up the same "hill" for an hour...

Don't most of us cycle to get out and about? I, for one, wouldn't want to spend an hour cycling but going no where.

I got a job measuring the depths of pits. It was not a career I was planning on I just fell into it.

I think the asteroid impact is more likely. And probably more damaging.
