Just back from a nice cycle out to the seaside and back with me on my fix and my mate on a road bike, hilly all the way out. I was apprehensive at first, cuz I knew he'd be faster paced than me but jesus did I pull way ahead of him on every hill! It was a revelation. Just stand up and crank like a motherfucker. Love it!
I was even carrying all kinds of stuff in my bag, including his jacket and I still fired up them.
We sprinted the last 3 miles home but he whooped my ass as it was all downhill and my saddle clamp had broken..
Ah, bliss.
