a lovely evening for some pain 😈

You’re in luck. I’m off sick with a bottom problem so won’t be able to beat everyone.

I’ll take your word on thet 😉

Excuse me if this is a stupid question but does ‘open club event’ mean its open to all riders, club members or not?

Is this a series? – I’d be interested in doing one, but can’t do tonight.

yes its open to all riders (members or not)

its the last of 3 Horwich hill climbs this year.

no one 😯

has everyone gone soft? :P(it will be fun…honestly)

GREAT TURN OUT (50 RIDERS)

I wonder if I’m still in the top ten on strava up that hill?
Probably not 😉

That was an awful lot of fun!

…no wait, I don’t mean “fun”, do I, I mean “suffering”. 😯

Loved it though, cheers to everyone involved, except the guy who organised the headwind – he can sod off. 🙂

Favorite picture of the night!

he he! That’s a big ring climb, easy. 😉

Oof! Record is 3:57 from Belmont to the top. That’s a 19mph average up a cat 4 climb. I’m down in 38th now 🙁 Still, I’m dead old, Dave’s got no excuse.

Must have been some tailwind! 😉

I fancied having a bash at this but the Mrs had to go out, I did the Bury CC Hill Climb last week, first one i’ve done and I really enjoyed it 😈

Following on from this….

Whether your just getting into cycling, looking for a group to ride with or your interested in racing take a look at http://www.horwichcycling.co.uk/

We are a small friendly club which meet for social riding throughout the week.

We also race most disciplines between our various members:Road,Crits,MTB,CX,TT’s etc.

Anyone’s welcome to come & join us.

keep an eye out on our forum for upcoming club runs and events.

Still, I’m dead old, Dave’s got no excuse.

I think you’ll find I’ve got a whole bucket load of excuses. Too many to list if I’m honest. 🙂

Is it wise to let someone do a timed race or any cycle event for that matter without a Helmet? 😯
