Hills and Guinness!
ay, great work
my aim is to be fit and fast enough to arrive before the queues form....failing that though a rest will do me good
been thinking that running with a shouldered bike down worst bits of Whernside may be the faster way of descending it ?
anyone any opinions please ?
last year I nursed the bike over the rocks only to see some canny locals shooting downhill way off the main path on a hardpack trail
That is indeed good news, although I was hoping for a good excuse of a rest...
Having been up Simon's Fell on our recce a few weeks back (without the bike, before you ask) was hard enough, let alone carrying a bike... Mine weighs a ton too
Just got myself some pipelagging, to pad it out a bit, as my back has been killing me ever since I started doing this cyclocross lark... It is a spot on my trapezius muscle, caused by twisting and lifting the bike on my shoulder/back I think... The pipelagging won't stop that, but at least it will stop the bruising on my shoulder...
