Thanks. That small climb we did yesterday was probably more difficult for me than the climb up Sarn Helen, because of the different gearing on the bikes. On the Roberts I can drop down onto the granny ring, but the Concorde has no granny, so it's all up to me, and my pride won't let me get off and push.
In one of the pictures you can see a tiny little cyclist in the distance. He, and his unseen mate, cruised past me going up that hill as if it wasn't there. They were, however, at least 30 years younger than me. B > On 31 Aug 2014, at 22:10, "Chris Mitchell" <[email protected]> wrote: > > A few more hills than our trek then!
