Tackled Fish Hill, Broadway

[mitch]

i used fish hill in 2009 training for the etape which finished on mont ventoux as its all we have around here .wait till its 40 degrees and go up it 10 times on the trot and it might give you a little bit like mont ventoux is like . i tackled mont ventoux after 90 miles and 5 mountains and hated every inch of the road ,good luck !!!!

Just for interest does anyone know the gradient of Fish hill? I am in Worcester might put that on my list of things to do before i tackle Ventoux next summer.

It was the 40 degrees on Ventoux which stopped me half-way up, not the gradient. With the sun overhead going up through the woods, the reflected heat off the road and no wind I just couldn't keep cool enough to keep going. I'll get the bastard one day, but on a cool morning ....
