2010-10-10 - Spectators Ride - Catford Hill Climb

As I told you last night (I think - I told someone anyhow), years ago I read an article by Chris Boardman on how to ride a hill climb. He stated that you should be losing consciousness as you cross the line, collapsing into the arms of your helper. My thoughts then, which were along the lines of "Fuck. That. Shit.", remain.

Yeah, it was me you told. Reminds me a bit of Desgrange's ideal that the Tour de France should be so hard that only one rider would finish.
