Loving the hills

[captainhastings]

been a pleasure since having the new bike ( defy 2 compact ) I have now started to avoid the dual carrageway and tend to explore the back roads more.
Each hill is a personal challenge and so far I havent had to get off. Did a couple of 12% hills (bikehike) tonight one after the other and I nearly cracked on the second one but just got to the top. I suspect you vets would zoom up them but there quite an effort for me at the moment
I have a 15-20% one to go at Saturday but I suspect this might be the one to get me but we shall have a good go.

Also saw a wild cat , big cat what ever you want to call it tonight as I got to top of the hill slumped over the bars in 1st gear and hardly moving down the road I spotted a big cat about the size of a big fox, black and hairy with pointed ears. It dived into the hedge and wood once started to get close. I have lived here all my life and was into field sports in my teens and I have never seen any thing like it before so that was interesting
