Urban Hill Climb Race - 03/09

Should be there close to 6pm with a mate who's entering, depending on trains.

Should be able to make it down but only to provide immoral support.

have a good one tonight guys. sorry i can't be there (still in canada). well done to tom for organising.

any speculation on who will win? it definitely won't be 'scarily fast' pete as he's an even worse climber than me. if pistaboy was racing my money would be on him. pastry lover is an unknown quantity due to nobody seeing him race since 2006. hyper allah could be tired from a work week and he relies on hummus to power him.

so, brett ftw!!!
ben will add to his dfl patch collection and reputation as birmingham's slowest courier.

plus I have injured my knee, can't race.

so it's Pastry and Pete cheerleading...

I'm a badass climber, but I don't have a usable fixed gear bicycle.

There are no hills in town anyway, only large speed bumps

Big thanks to Sprocket, Bike Foundry and Spinwell for donating prizes, and everyone for coming out.. A shame the turn out wasn't that great, but I think it went well in the end! See you all at the next one!

great event tom. pretty consistent performance by all contenders who managed to place no lower than 3rd in any event!!

just wish someone had recorded fin almost doing a heather mills on a small child on the Hill Street crossing!!!

Was a great event. I'll try and get my photos up layer today. Barry and I ended up in Coventry for a few drinks on the way home. Needless to say neither of us made it back to Leamington ;) Thankfully I have understanding parents in Cov! Heading home after a cuppa :)

Thanks to Thomas for organising such a fun event!

pissed that I forgot my camera, was a fun night

Sorted photos out at last. Flickr set here (larger pics).

Can someone remind me who everyone is? Seriously shit with names/faces :)

dudes, if you're going to flirt then please do it via PMs...

Good event, nice one for organising. Sorry I had to shoot early, the Gough Street leg looked awesome.

Can I just say I won :)
