Actually that's not strictly true, zooming up the first half then with grim determination slogging it up the second, but I'm happy with that ;)

At last, progress!

3 months ago I discovered I was a pussy due to my inability to scale Highgate and Muswell Hill and promptly mocked over on MT. After 3 months couriering I'm now zooming up Pentonville road on 48/14, I might not be a pussy for much longer Hoorah!

Well glad I am not the only 48/14 in London.

HTFU, you're doing it wrong, etc. :)

I guess I could dig out a 48 and go up to 17 on the back, seeing as I've got them lying around. No idea where the 48 is, mind.

I'm thinking about going up from 48/19 (66.4) back to 48/17 (74.3). If there's going to be ice around it actually makes sense to gear up, your back wheel is less likely to slip.

Well glad I am not the only 48/14 in London.

'Kin ell...That's starter track gearing surely?

I want pics so I don't even bother trying to keep up with the both of you on a nice bit of flat.

45/19 = get aerobic and work your pedalling efficiency

It's always blue too, though I've never found out why.

I think it's because uric acid in your sweat bleaches it.
