Hill Climbs

So who else is in that I can cheer on? I've got a friend going off 15th, @Borek off 81st, and @umop3pisdn 193rd - any other names/numbers I can look out for?

Not forum, but people who'll be on fixed:

Hamish McDougal (206) (friend of mine)

Henry Cash (101) - rapid junior

Theo Tadros (236) - rapid junior

Thomas Mead-Herbert (104) - bearded

Joe Norledge (215) - very tarty fixed bike

Excellent, thanks - I'll make a note.

193rd

have they not seen his instagram followers?!

I know. It's a travesty. Going to have to wait so long for that headband action...

I'm off at 108, expecting bad things

Awesome, I'll add you to my list!

Pahaha

Strong cake game at the Sussex Nomads event on Ditchling Beacon. I came 3rd.

Good luck to @umop3pisdn, @Borek and everyone else 'on here' riding the Nationals today.

I can't find a picture to post, but new female National Hill Climb champion, Lou Bates, has a headband game to rival @umop3pisdn .

Bates wore a headband and won. Maryka didn't and didn't. Proof?

Proof that for women it matters. Who was the best headband clad male finisher?

Ooh, good question. None of the top ten I think.

Honourable mention for some top lüft

What sort of wattage over what time are the contenders putting out?

I'd hazard a guess at not far off 9 w/kg for the winner today (2:18)

@Borek?

9w/kg...!

Eurgh.

Isaac Mundy did 622W for 2nd place, which is at least 9.3W/kg (assuming his weight category on Strava is correct)

Have put my entry in for the catford hill climb fingers crossed I get accepted and half considering doing a couple more to try to get an entry to the Nationals...I'll be in the LFGSS Skinsuit if it arrives in time (which it is due to)

Who else is racing this year? @HoKe @umop3pisdn @borek @dbr
Ideas on training? Basically lose weight and ride up hills fast right?
Any recommendations on other ones to enter? Thinking maybe the kingston

I'll probably do Catford, just for the vibessss. I'm too heavy this year. Training - you've basically got it.
