that's the spirit, stompy! my technique up swain o' paine was throw myself at the first bit to get some momentum, then just sit back and take it steady (but not fast). i was panting like a mo'f*cker by the end, tho - but i did make it. not so optimistic for this ride seeing as the killer (apparently) is at the end. i reckon helen'll be way up there tho, as she's got a great gear ratio (46x18 - she's been spinning like fuck recently!) and strong legs.
