It's not Rotherham afterall Hurrah.
It is Sheffield and my girlfriend, god bless her, thought about my love for riding fixed and rented us a flat at the top of the highest and steepest of the seven hills.
I've finally gotten round to bringing my bike out of storage, getting it repaired and making it SS rather than fixed and those hills are going to kill me. I'm down to 61GI and wondering if I ought to go a bit lower. I'll give it a week and see. Definitely not flipping the flop though as frankly I love the descending around here. A couple of seconds to 20mph and a couple more to 30 and I don't think my knees will cope with 170rpm spin speeds.
