Simon Warren, Rollapuluza Urban Hill Climb 2010
The third Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb takes place this Thursday evening (July 19), when 230 riders will take on a timed ascent of Swains Lane, Highgate, London.
Although the event sold out just 10 minutes after entries were made available online, there's still a chance to watch riders blast - or pootle - up one of London's toughest climbs as it's completely free to watch.
The first rider - Adi Gaskell - starts at 6.30pm, with the last rider expected to finish at around 9.15pm.
Neither 2011 winner Michael Smith nor runner-up Germain Burton take part this year. Waller Pain hill-climb 2012 winner John Storms is one of those taking part - he was tenth overall last year, and first-placed veteran.
The full list of riders and start times can be found on the event website.
