The great hill climb is on this Thursday night. 4 miles of pleasure. Super crowd at the finish. Great night here last year.

Great fun that! Well done to everyone that endured the pain and thanks to all those who took the time to marshal/timekeep! Wee Zako slashing his time there! Not that I'm at all irked/petty at Kellets 2 second victory but...  dropped-chain-disaster by chame1983, on Flickr I make that a 30 sec loss of time there Kellet from my stoppage. I hear ya... Only times on the board bla bla bla... but we both know what really went down here champ.  PS. I can almost hear Ivan 'Davy... Your preparations sh!te!' |

Thats my first hill climb and really enjoyed it. Its a lung buster alright! Ive a really enjoyable first year in the club and Im learning the lingo FAST! Tonight I picked up: "Im saving myself for tomorrow night," "I dont have the right power to weight ratio for this..." "Hill climbs dont suit me" or my favourite "My chain came off!" (A likely story ) |

You need to put the wee speed line on it davy, where it shows you were only stopped for a few seconds according to strava. I reckon if I had have taken a breather I could have pushed it a bit harder in the last section too ;D Thanks Gavin! |

Ha! Barry are you well in with the Strava powers or something?
Bryce, its lucky you didnt puncture on the way up the hill! I'm not sure there were enough men there last night to put the tyre back on the rim.

Cheers to Nathan and his Dad for checking all was ok and the offer of a lift. Oh and cheers for all the advice: DC; BVK:). Cheers to Shanksy for actually helping! Can't believe that's just about the end of the season already. From my first 2up with BK to Road racing, its been a steep learning Curve however I've really had a ball and I'm looking forward to next year already! |
