a proper cyclist

[justkeeppedaling]

Ive just conquered Parbold Hill (lancashire), chuffed to bits , feel like a proper cyclist now even though I did stop for a little rest on the steepest bit.

I tried it last summer and failed miserably, stopped at the church for anyone who knows it, and this time I got past the church stopped for a little rest and then battled to the top. Strugged to get my left foot back in the pedals to get going again but got there in the end.

I recently done the manchester chester sportive 60 miler in 4 hours, but this feels such a bigger achievement.

Turned round and came back, that descent is scary, i know how brad feels now, think i need some new brake blocks for the new bike already, sure i could see some smoke coming from them as I squeezed them to death to keep my speed down..

just thought i'd dhare

Nice one. I don't love to far from it and keep meaning to give it a go.

Certainly a decent incline -well done.

Can you sort that font out please? I have 56 year old eyes and that's not as easy on the eye as say Kylie.

Don't forget our other Australian exports. You think Kylie's easy on the eyes, what about Miranda?

Congrats on the hill, by the way @justkeeppedaling, it's always good to 'conquer' another one.

You sure about that? Looks a tad manly from the neck up to me:
