Señor_Bear-
Brixton asked for it. I think it was raised at one of their committee meetings.
I think the main reason is that it's a fair bit quicker to get to White Lane than it is to Exedown. (White Lane is about 13 miles from Crystal Palace while Exedown is about 21 miles.) So that would shorten the overall ride. Perhaps that will make it easier for more of us to join as well.
While I prefer Exedown - because it's quieter and there's a lot more space - I'm ok with changing it. Unless anyone has any particular objections?
Will
So, to confirm the breaking news, this year's hill climb will be White Lane rather than Exedown.
The league table for CS Grupetto looks interesting. Will anyone be able to beat vintage Damo (circa 2012)? At the other end of the scale will anyone challenge Pete's lanterne?
To add a bit of spice, Ved and Crowbar are going head to head in real time, i.e. starting side by side. This has never before been seen on a hill climb, and will be a real crowd pleaser.
EDIT: The above is no longer true. We're sticking with Exedown.
