welcome to the 2011 Urban Hill Climb on
Swain’s Lane, a cycle race like no other. Our inaugural event last year, which
was the first ‘closed road’ hill climb time trial in London, attracted more than
120 riders and a huge crowd of spectators.
There were plenty of highlights – not least the amazing performance of boy
cycling wonder Germain Burton, who features in this programme and who will
no doubt be challenging for honours once more in today’s race. And who can
forget the dog in the basket?
We’re sure there will be just as many stand-out athletes and quirky
happenings this time – with riders starting every minute and going all-out
against the clock, the event promises full-on action for spectators.
Plus, we’ve introduced a new element this year to test the best riders to their
limits – those with the four fastest times at the end of the individual time trial
stage will go head-to-head in semi-final heats, and the winners of each of
those will have to race a third time in the final battle to decide the Urban Hill
Climb 2012 champion. Lucky them.
Have fun, and see you next year for the 2012 edition of the Urban Hill Climb.
In the meantime, enjoy our special souvenir programme... and keep riding.

1 Swain’s Lane, Highgate N6Swain’s Lane is my
primary training hill as it’s
the toughest climb I can fit
into my hour’s commute
to the office. I was
overjoyed when I found
it but there are plenty
of days I wish I hadn’t,
which is why I only tend to
ride it between May and
October. Outside these
months I use the longer
and gentler Highgate
West Hill; if I rode Swain’s
Lane all year round, I’d be
a) a wreck and b) bored
to death of it. I usually
attack it on my old fixed-
wheel bike, which makes
it a real grind, and I have
a strict routine I stick to
each time I go up. I stay in
the saddle to the plateau
outside the cemetery and
then out of the saddle to
the finish, which, unlike
the official race distance,
means going all the way to
the brow.

2 College Road, Dulwich SE21The second of my
London training hills is
College Road in Dulwich.
What makes this road
special is the fact that
it’s a toll road – there’s
a booth with barriers at
the base and cars have to
pay £1 for the privilege of
using it. This, of course,
makes it much quieter
than the other ways up
to Crystal Palace and is,
therefore, perfect for hill
intervals. As with Swain’s
Lane, I always ride it on
my fixed-wheel bike.
I start my watch at the
first lamppost past the
ticket booth, accelerate,
and then sit back down.
The slope is reasonably
steep, but you’re
rewarded with an easing
after the station, where
you can spin before the
gradient bites again. Then
it’s hard to the top, so I
stay seated until the road
bends left, and from here
it’s out of the saddle and
100% to stop the watch at
the roundabout. Anything
under three minutes and
I’m happy.

3 Avey Lane, High Beech, Essex
This insignificant stretch
of road is my ‘testing’ hill,
and I’ve been coming here
for more than six years
to see how my body is
working. It didn’t get a
mention in 100 Climbs
as it’s overshadowed
by its more substantial
neighbour, Mott Street.
But it’s the perfect hill
to get up to speed, hold
that speed, but not really
hurt yourself. I have a very
precise starting point for
my effort – half way up the
hill, just after the junction
with Pynest Green Lane –
and I finish at the second
speed bump following
the narrowing at the top.
My routine is: ride out for
45 minutes, head to the
bottom, take my brain
out and give it 110%, no
mercy, no holding back. If
it’s a good day I will sneak
under the minute, if it’s not
a good day I will spend
45 minutes riding home
trying to work out what
went wrong.

4 Yorks Hill, KentStrange that I
should include
this in my five favourite
climbs close to London
as I make the point of
only riding it once a year,
during the Catford CC
hill climb. As soon as the
leaves start to fall and
the temperature drops,
this is the hill I see when
I close my eyes. I have
no need to revisit it
between events because
every inch of its gnarled
surface is etched on my
brain, imprinted on my
lungs and chiselled into
my legs. It’s the best race
to ride anywhere in the
country as the last 100
metres of the course
are lined four deep with
spectators all screaming
you on. For just a few
fleeting moments, and
in total agony, you get
to live the dream, to feel
what it’s like to be a pro’
heading up to the summit
of an alpine pass.
Length 647mHeight gain 92m100 Climbs rating 6/10Quickest time 2m 8s
5 Chalkpit Lane, SurreyMy favourite climb
in the South East; it was
a tough call to leave this
road out of the first 100 Climbs book but it was top
of the list for the second
volume (due out in May
2012). Unremarkable up
to the tight, right-hand
corner but from here on
it’s brilliant; wrench your
bike round the 25% bend
and you’re faced with an
achingly uniform 20% slog
on the perfectly surfaced
road. Dead straight, you’re
offered no respite for more
than 200 metres but it’s
just a fraction under the
point where it becomes
impossible. Whenever I’m
in this area I try and fit
it into my ride. Although
very steep, it’s deceptively
easy to ride, maybe due
to that beautiful surface
so I always reach the top
feeling good.

Schoolboy GErMain BurTon must have frightened the life out of many competitors – and spectators – as he streaked up Swain’s Lane last year, beating elite riders and pros to take an eventual second place at the inaugural Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb. This year, Germain, now 16, has more experience under his belt and, having just sat his GCSEs, is focusing on his racing. We caught up with him before the event, to find out what he’s been up to.

i like riding hill climbs because I’m quite good at them. I’m suited
to short, steep
hill climbs such
as White Lane
(the site of the Bec CC hill
climb), and Swain’s Lane is
similar – they’re short, hard
efforts. The atmosphere’s
always brilliant and it’s
different to the average
race. It gives you that extra
bit of adrenaline.
I didn’t know what to expect at last year’s Urban Hill Climb. I knew I’d do fairly well,
but when my time was
standing for a while I
started to believe I might
win it. Then it got knocked
off in the last minute! But
I was pretty pleased with
being only a second off
the winner. This year, we’ll
see how it goes.
When I won the Bec CC hill climb last year, I’d trained specifically for it – it’s at a time of year when there’s no other races. But
with the Urban Hill Climb, I
had to fit it into my racing
programme. It was in the
week leading up to the
national youth circuit race
championships, so I was
race fit but I hadn’t done
any specific hill training.
The 2011 national champs
are again right after the
Urban Hill Climb.
It’s difficult to share any tactics for hill climbing. Just go for it – give
everything off the start
line and don’t hold
anything back. Make sure
you’re totally smashed
when you cross the line.
That’s all I can really say –
there’s no tactics as such,
just completely smash it!
I’m racing two, three, possibly four times a week – which means that I don’t really have to go out training right now. Just a couple of spins to
keep my legs turning.
This time last year I hadn’t been racing abroad. Since
then, I’ve raced in Belgium

a few times. It’s pretty
different over there, good
for your development as
a rider, whether you’re a
youth, or a senior racing
at a high level. It’s tough,
it takes a few races to get
used to, because it’s so
aggressive. It’s a different
style of racing: you
have to be able to move
through the bunch, and it
can get difficult because
some of the roads are
narrow compared with the
circuits I race here.
I’ve just finished my GCSEs. I feel more relaxed
about racing now – it was
intense before, having to
fit everything in, getting
the work done and not
disappointing people at
school. It’s hard saying
you’re training or racing
all the time. But I worked
hard and am confident
about my exams.
Now I’m concentrating on riding well as a junior [British Cycling’s age category for 16-18 year olds]. It matters more to
do well as a junior. The
distances are longer and
the courses are more
challenging, and there’s a
better selection of riders
at the finish so it’s harder
to do well. In the next
12 months I’d like to do
well at a national level
and hopefully ride some
international races, to see
what I can do.
I rode the West Flanders Tour last year – featuring five stages including a team time trial prologue. This year’s competition
is going to have an
individual time trial, and
then three stages. I’m
going to do my best in
the time trial and then
see what I can do in the
overall. We’ll see.
My dad is the only person I take coaching advice from. It seems to be
working pretty well so far!
What inspires me about him is that it was so hard for him all those years ago, it puts things in perspective. It makes you
want to make the most of
what you have. Generally
it was harder then,
opportunities and funding
weren’t there for young
riders as they are now,
and there’s more interest
in the sport. Now you see
British riders doing well
on the World Tour, and
breaking through into
the professional ranks
on a fairly regular basis.
It inspires you, gives you
more incentive – it could
be there for the taking if
you’ve got the talent and
you put in the effort.

The British
predilection for
the hill climb – as
a sub-discipline of
the time trial – probably
stems from the peculiar
roots of road racing in the
UK. Due to an unfortunate
incident involving two
racing cyclists, a Victorian
lady on horseback and a
ditch, mass-start racing
(of the kind made famous
by the Tour de France
and other ‘stage’ races)
was outlawed. This seems
unfair, given that it wasn’t
even the lady who ended
up in the ditch; but, as
Freud (who once lived
close to Swain’s Lane)
said, when something
is repressed, it always
returns, disguised yet
recognisable. And so,
more than 100 years
ago, British stage racing
withered and the time-
trialling culture was born.
Hill climbing (of the
cycling variety) is not
just a British activity, of
course, and naturally
the Americans do it
bigger. The Cycle to
the Sun climbs 36 miles
up a Hawaiian volcano
and, since 1962, the
Mount Evans hill climb
in Colorado has started
where most mountains
tail off, taking participants
from 7,555ft to 14,130ft in
27 miles. The record of 1hr
41 mins is held by Garmin-
Cervélo’s Tom Danielson.
But does bigger mean
better? “The alpinist’s will
PeAK PAIn Max LEonarD casts an eye over the British hill climbing tradition, and tries to fathom what it takes to perform well
isn’t prompted by the
mountain,” Tim Krabbé
writes in his meditation on
cycling, The Rider. “The
alpinist’s will is not so petty
that it needs something
as random as the shape of
the Earth’s crust in order
to exist.” Extreme, perhaps,
but the sentiment holds
true. The determination
shown by hill climb
contenders – the pure will
to go upwards as fast as
possible – is somehow
more impressive on British
hills. We don’t need a
3,000m-high volcano:
we have the oldest
continuously held race in
the world – in the shape
of the Catford Hill Climb
– and we have intensity.
Short yards that feel like Imag

miles, hour-long minutes,
gradients that tip over 25%
then ease off for a second
only to ramp sadistically
back up: there is a killer
competitiveness to it. But
it is a competitiveness
cloaked in homeliness –
with thermoses of tea,
warm overcoats and rollers
on the edge of leaf-mulch
lanes, and little guys with
big legs looking intent and
trying to keep warm.
It’s a fixFixed riders, it should be
noted, still often place
high in the discipline. Le
Anh Luong, the current
custodian and organiser
of the Catford CC race,
comments that many ride
a fixed-wheel bike for a
certain tactical simplicity,
despite the fact that the
weight advantage they give
is, in the days of carbon
fibre, drastically reduced.
In Chris Boardman’s
day, fixed was almost de
rigueur: “There was the
psychological aspect,” he
says. “All you had to worry
about was your own effort,
and measuring that over
the distance remaining.
You took away a lot of
risks. You couldn’t slip a
gear, didn’t have to think
about changing. It was just
perfect for hill climbs. They
were beautiful events.”
As an end-of-season
ritual, the hill climb invites
riders to have a go, to push
their peak form to the
limit. And it encourages
specialism, bordering on
obsession – some train
especially and exclusively
for it. The hill climb is
perhaps the only event in
which pros regularly lose
to amateurs.
Looking back at the
palmarès of previous
winners of the British
National Hill Climb
Championships, certain
names occur again and
again. Vic Clark just after
the war; Granville Sydney
winning six years out of 11
between ’63 and ’73. Four
in a row for Darryl Webster
and Chris Boardman…
Waugh, Dangerfield,
Henderson, Fleeman. Even
the names of the hills – the
Nationals move venue
every year – are evocative:
Nick O’ Pendle, Winter’s
Gibbet, Rosedale Chimney…
These courses do vary:
there are the very short
and very steep, such as
the Rake in Lancashire or
Streatley Hill, and the not-
so-short and still-quite-
steep, such as Cheddar
Gorge and Burrington
Combe – and favour
different types of riders.
Yet in the end it all comes
down to a simple equation:
(more power + less weight)
x (superhuman ability to
work anaerobically +
sky-high pain threshold)
= victory. And maybe that’s
all there is to it. Training,
effort, will.
Let’s leave the last word
to Tom Ballhatchet, the
highest-placed Rollapaluza
CC rider at last year’s
inaugural Urban Hill Climb:
“I always imagine a hill
climb as being like crash-
landing a plane: it’ll never
be pretty and you can
only practice it to a certain
limited extent.”
