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...
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.
