North Drinks. Every Week, Wednesday 6pm - The Maynard N8

I'm not the fittest but I've done it on the geared bike, found it fine as long as you take it slow, and stand on the pedals just for that really nasty bit where it the road kicks up almost vertical after the cemetery gates.

also tried it on the single speed a couple of times, it's death, nearly toppled over last time before conceding I was going to have to get off and push. happens a lot, hence my rubbish forum name.

I find it best fixed. Much more power though the back wheel. Quick blast then your finished.
