Hills

[Dan_K]

I'm looking to do some hill intervals but can't seem to find any decent hills around Croydon.
I don't really want to go any further than about 4-5 miles from where I live at Park Hill cos my evening time is limited and i'd want to do a 15-20 mile round trip.

I've tried Croham Road, Shirley Hills Road, Ballards way but the gradients aren't that steep.
Any ideas?

If it's short and steep you want : Winchelsey Rise (off Croham Manor Rd)

Hi Dan

There are loads of hills here in Kenley. Up Foxley lane , Welcomes road , Hayes lane , All long drags.

Will join you if you want.

Chalkpit Hill, takes between 8 to 10 minutes to climb and is only 20% at the top

Marco, what's that hill near croydon with the nice grassy roundabout on top near a church? I have been dropped off their a few times and there's a lovely downhill back home.

Loads of nasty hills on the Huw's Hills route in the Routes section. Further afield than the original question but lots of real nasty ones in that area and you're never far from Croydon. Nicer to do different hills on a loop than reps on one hill too.

i have just seen a new page for the website.
'Addicombes hills a tour of Croydon challenging gradients'

Try Succombes Hill up from Wapses Lodge roundabout on the A24. 25% with a nice little Pyrennean-style left-hander near the top.
