2011-11-13 - 50*14 Memorial Ride London to Brighton

I've managed Ditchling on gears a few times before but this was my first attempt fixed. It simply wasn't going to happen in 68gi with my bulk on the bike. I was so relieved when I saw younger thinner fitter people hopping off and followed their example. I suspect that if we had started with a climb of Ditchling rather than having it at the end of a hard day, more people would have got up it. I doubt that I would.

If the roadie pillocks who were swanning up in their granny gears read this (which I hope they don't), before you start making crass and insulting comments about how easy it is etc, have a look at the rear wheel of the bike of the cyclist you are dissing. In any event, dissing other riders is neither big nor clever. You don't know how far they have ridden or what their personal circumstances are.

Clive you road very well all day.
Ignore the cunts who where coming down the hill! They probably drove there 4x4 or some other gas guzzling sports car to the car park at the top as they probably couldn't climb it either! Even with a granny gear and a triple!
