I raced at Strathclyde Park today. It was a fast course, which felt fairly brutal on a singlespeed. There was a long climb on loose gravel (gravelbro, etc) and I walked it on the third lap as I felt cooked after doing a gazelle impersonation on the run-up. Cue my cleats becoming blocked with gravel - lots of kicking at the pedals. Took me half a lap to clip in. I didn't make the mistake of walking there again.
