Blog EntryFive go mad in the PeaksJul 8, '07 5:36 PM
for everyone

So you watching that there Tour thingy, and at the end of next week they show you some profiles of the climbs they have to do. 10%, 15% pah, easy compared to the peaks check this out (click for bigger) the road route we did on Sat.


Yep some regular 15% hits and a few in the 20's, there was some serious grinding going on up them, ok they dont go on for Hours like the French classics, but they pretty damn killer to us swamp dwellers.
Led to some great speeds coming back down too.

So what did we learn during our ride then;
Graham can bounce off car bumpers and dosen't bruise easily.
Nige is one seriously fast descender.
Smiffy can hold a front wheel blow out at speed (respect).
Noddy has got some serious balls on wet roads with his back wheel hanging out when facing a wall.
Maps are so last century.
Sausage sandwiches at the Hope Cafe are ace.
Road bike brakes are Shit.
