Man like Richard Bussell! On 39x18 fyi because he didn't want to spin out on the 'flat' bits...

@umop3pisdn and @xavierdisley didn't exactly hold their end up for the team competition :-)

Well that's my best ride of the season by a long stretch... Might have to take this dieting thing seriously next year.

Really good crowds out, all good apart from the dickhead who decided to shout 'try harder' at me about 3/4 of the way up

Brilliant event to watch and not surprised Bussell won, he was absolutely flying. Great to see so many people on fixed too.
Got a 'wtf' look from @umop3pisdn when I shouted "go on upsidedown", even as a lurker on here, it felt necessary to use your forum name!

Haha, I've got used to spectators using the startsheet to call your name but wasn't expecting people to know my internet alias! Support from spectators was excellent, there at every bit where it started to get too tough to carry you on. Deepest I've ever gone, was on the floor for 5 minutes after my ride.

I turned up and rode instead of bailing like last year! :D
Fixed FTW, what a hero

@umop3pisdn strong work fellah! 79th out of a field of 224.
Where did you say 2016 was again? Definitely want to give it a pop.

Thanks! Really pleased. It's Bank Road in Matlock, 2 minutes of Powaaa

Right. I'm in. 3 minutes of powaaaah

Not quite as funny as last year's

Bastards have missed me though!

They couldn't put too many fixed riders in, component manufacturer pressure, it's so people aren't inspired to ride fixed and carry on buying the latest gear rather than tub rims from the 80s.

Pretty sure my front rim is from the 70s! Everyone is getting so upset that someone won on fixed, on a metal bike...

If you can hear what people are shouting, you aren't trying hard enough.

Nice! Probably going slowly enough for him to get a decent shot, my shoe/ chainset makes another appearance in that set as well. Cheers for the link

Speak to @umop3pisdn. He's only racing hill climbs to get cheap modeling shots for his portfolio. You'll see him on Britain's Next Top Model 2016...
