Another challenge for G2ers.
During a couple of the heady sugar-fuelled tea stops, "we" came up with the idea of a G2 team doing the Leith Hill Octopus Challenge >

Yes, I know that G2 doesn't normally do hills, and 8 times up Leith hill in a year let alone a day would be exceptional, but what the heck (it's 8 descents too)
It's about 60 miles with 6000 feet of climbing. It will be strictly to G2 "rules" for tough rides including a recovery pause after each ascent.
We will not be attempting to be high up on the leader board times (a la Costello) - the aim is just to complete the challenge.
The team name will be "G2 Grimpeurs" (why not?) and it will provisionally be limited to 8 riders.
Currently the team is 2 definitely and 2 possibly.
For logistical reasons (parking in Dorking) it will be on a Sunday and probably towards the end of September (so we will all be at the peak of our fitness!!)
It is an event in aid of charity so it will cost you a massive £20 to enter.
- If you are interested in joining the team please respond to this posting and start training!
(be warned there may be some "interesting" G2s coming up!)
