2010-07-22 - Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb

Dale is first, something to aim at is the thinking, I doubt he'll be beaten until the seeds go in the last 10 mins.

You certainly know how to pick 'em.

I'm going to have to pull out of this.

How can I give someone my place? (and would anyone like it?)

Contact rollapaluzza and let them know

Have done, thought I'd post up here as well, belt and braces.

I'm sure we'll fill your place on the night...

Do you know if there's going to be somewhere for spectators to lock up bikes or will there be enough space to just hang onto your steed while you watch from the side?

And, more importantly, is there a bar? :)

The Flask, one of North Londons finest pubs is at the top of the hill there is a big railing on the grass verge opposite

anyone got a spare brake and lever PM me, otherwise i'm out.

NO!!!!! not possible, someone sort him out.

Dale, I've a plenty...

are you heading up there though? busy during day tomorrow with a course.

needs to be old style ie weinmann with long bolt, lever can be anything to fit on 25.4, bmx or anything will do.

winspar, i did have one sorted but can't contact the person.

did you sell your plastic bike or summink?

I think Scott not Scot has it.

I have a Dirty Harry built up with 10" of outer cable, but with a modern caliper. However, I do have a Weinmann caliper knocking around. I could switch calipers over, no bother.

Trouble is, I can't get there before 6pm.

Where's your course?

Best to PM me, Dale. If I don't hear from you tonight I'll just stick it in my bag anyway.

Are you attending tomorrow then Sam? It'll be good to see you.

Yep. Did try to enter, but was too late. That's probably a good thing anyway. Before I started work (3 1/2 weeks ago) I was just about keeping up with the likes of Shoots and Claus on some climbs, but have since only ridden about 20 miles while putting on 5lbs!

See you there!

sam chuck it in your bag, just in case. haven't got one in my hand yet.

winston, plastic bike long gone. should've put mikec at start.

thanks as well!

he's too fast...we need a time that will get beat!...

Someone's already doing 1:45s... at least my ride will create some good.. the slower I am the more they get :)

BDW: Where's the info?

It's in the bag.

Depending on where your course is I could meet you around lunchtime. Not as a date, mind.

I'm now based in Victoria btw.
