"a more gentle way home at mile 55"

After a ride like that, I'm amazed you're still A) cycling; B) doing CC rides !

You're hard-core/bad-ass, you are !

was my introduction to hills after about 100 miles f flat cycle paths . got my first scars that day too!

Could you live with the qualifying event start time? I'm sure last year they started around 6am.

@tug benson, @Cameronmu917772, ..... and @edindave for CC Ecosse Hill Chasers !!

 

[edindave]

Gawd no. I toyed with the idea of entering the Arthur's Seat Hill Climb race last year, then I had a look at my Strava placing

You forgot @Rasmus

 

[Col5632]

You forgot @Rasmus

Defo can't forget him, think he has beaten most people up most hills we have done on CC rides

Oi @Scoosh(ie), where did you get the idea that I might be racing anybody? I can bring some cake as a contribution, but that's as far as it goes

Like last years Perth ride!!!!!!
Is Cleish long?
Can't add anything else being from the vast western plains...........

Isn't there a pancake flat bit called the Crow Road or something like that near you? For a wee donner?

The feeling of being welcome despite strugging and everyones support, @jazloc falling in a bush before we had started, @GBC lending me a cardigan , the attack of the wooden cow and @Fubar s jelly babies meant that I went home and decided that cycling really was for me, especially with everyone I met on that day. Since then you have all been stuck with me

Awww

Hehe ... go for it! You'll get your own fan club shouting for you Wear a CC jersey and do Shaun/@admin proud ...

You forgot @Rasmus

I think he somehow meant @Rasmus and typed Telemark by mistake

There are a few hill climbs/time trials etc coming up as part of this year's Edinburgh Festival of Cycling, or EdFoC for short...
On this page, you need to click through to June to see the events (calendar not working 100% yet), and more events being added every day now. You might want to follow them on twitter, so you don't miss out on the popular stuff when the tickets become available
@edindave, there are also rumours that the ERC will organise something as part of EdFoC ...
