congrats to you all, I swerve this thread every year and then read it afterwards with fascination, there's some horrific pictures from previous years

any hill that Remus calls punchy, I never want to be anywhere near, please say he wasn't on his commuter

I'm sure someone mentioned an e-certificate, how do I get one now I've done the actual punishment.....

e-mail Graham - his address is on the Hilly 50 blog

One of the guys who rides with the Midweek wayfarers is 84.

He did the hilly 50 on Saturday in 2 1/2hours - awesome!

it's not that bad.. i was on the same 7-speed audax bike in order to compare the time with last years'. i was pleased to realise that with two months off the bike last winter i still improved the time by six minutes (2:04:12)

the hills are tough if you are undergeared, tow a heavy load or try to go too fast. otherwise they are fine, just ease off and enjoy the ride.

You done well with that time, I was well chuffed with my 2:20, but felt it for a few days after !!!

You're dead right with the hills, being fairly new to cycling, I've found them a lot easier since I've started to try and really relax and take them slightly slower, definitely helps.

2:20 is damn good ! Well done Hutch.

And as for 2:04... well - just no comment !

Fans of seriously hilly stuff may want to have a go at this. A bit further from Lunnontown, but there might be some cheap rail tickets to somewhere close if you book early enough.
