I dont know about you but i thought we were taking it all very seriously, i'm sure the aero gains of handlebars were discussed in depth. and you mentioned watts at least once ;-) That picture of Dan is brilliant, real pain.

A great weekends HillClimbing :)
I was just looking over the numbers for the last 3 events as they were all pretty similar duration (for me at least). The power drop off was quite telling - 415 -> 402 -> 383
The last two especially interesting, given that the one in the morning was 10s longer duration as well... No wonder I looked so fucked in the photo of the last one :)These kids taking the easy option and only riding two events in a weekend, eh @borek :P
West DC HC weekend 10/10 - would prolapse again.

@umop3pisdn
Great fun racing the West DC hillclimb weekend, 4 HC's over two days with @danb and @borek (though Borek pussied out and only rode on Sunday which is obvs the only reason he beat me. Good mix of hills, 5 minute hill with mixed gradients which was a bit of a test for fixed, followed by a 2 minute and 2x 2:30 minute smashfests which were well suited for fixed.
Great support on all of the hills, but especially the final race on Claverton where the crowd at the top really helped you power towards the line, ignoring the protestation from your lungs and legs. A few photos, which might suggest some weren't taking things too seriously, but the racing was certainly serious...
