Tell us about your weekend ride

^^I did 6 reps of Streatley when reccying it before a hillclimb (not the same day!). It's pretty vicious. Ended up doing about 2m35s, but was annoyed that I undergeared* in the end and went 'lactic' too quickly. Should've been about 10 seconds quicker (based on the couple of people who hit the 2m25s mark). Robert Gough broke the course record with a 2m16s that day and threw up for about 20 minutes non-stop afterwards. All I had was a migraine, so clearly plenty left in the tank :D

In other news, discovered I had a solitary spare spoke in stock for my front wheel, and furthermore, the 3 year old alu nipple hadn't seized, so I could fit it without even removing the tyre - hooray!

Excellent stuff BMMF.. have you ever come across a hill known locally as chittychitty bangbang? Featured in the final sequence of the film.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcbxNDwlrOQ somewhere west of Henley..

Not sure I'll find it again, really off the beaten track, also featured in local TT.. Straight for about a mile.. Up up its relentless.
