Hill Climb

Dave and I decided to combine a ride in the North Pennines with watching a bit of the British Hill Climb championship on The Stang [a hill I have ridden a couple of times before]. When we fought our way through a tough headwind with rain as well we were surprised to see absolutely no one there. The organisers had switched it to the other side of the climb so the contestants had a tail wind. We, however still had the headwind to battle with. So technically we decided we had won - even though we had not entered. Anyway we rode down through the rain and were then blasted back to Richmond by the best tailwind I have ever had in my life [50x11 on the flat with little effort]
