Manchester - Llandudno 25 April 2015 featuring the Inaugural Hill Climb Sausage Challenge

[nickyboy]

Is the challenge before chips and beer or after ?

You lot obviously aren't paying attention to the Challenge rules THAT I HAVE ALREADY POSTED

Whenever you like. You have to provide photographic evidence of where you got to

Just bear in mind that the winner gets a Chippy Gift Certificate so that might not be much use if you've already eaten w'tea

I need the proper fixed guys on the ride to confirm, but I understand that typical fixed gearing is something like 48-18 (no idea really, I googled it).

So to make the Challenge fair, anyone doing it on a geared bike needs to use the closest gear they have to the "typical fixed" gearing. And not sneakily change it half way up as well

So that's 48/18, 52/20, 44/17, 42/16 or 39/15.

I'm very sorry to hear this ^^^ - I'd appreciate it, if you could send him my regards; hopefully, he might do another CChat ride later in the year.

And TBH all this talk of climbing hills and gear inches is putting me right off even bothering to attend. One big yawn WGAF

.

The hill climb isn't compulsory - just a bit of fun for the end of the ride.

 

[pubrunner]

Yes, I know, I have read the thread. I just find the whole thing incredibly dull.

It's only been a bit of boyish banter . . . . . . . we'll consider our hands to have been duly smacked.

I'm sure you will have a great time in our company on the ride - though @User3094 and I won't be joining until the 25 mile mark - we'll be on our very best behaviour

I hope @User3094 leaves his whoopee cushion at home .

Great effort to make it all the way from Essex to Manchester, cycle to Llandudno then train all the way back in a day

I'll try to steer the posters away from hill climbs, gear inches etc but you know what boys are like sometimes

F@@k

Respect, you mad b@st@rd !

Are you coming to the pub after ?

Where is Essex anyway, somewhere down South ?

 

[pubrunner]

Yes, in the vast majority here unfortunately. Oh well.

You'll have a great time, as will all the girlies on this ride. Let's face it, you'll be outnumbered at least 10 to 1, by charming, witty, handsome and erudite chaps - most of whom, bear a close resemblance to Greek gods. . . . Apart from @rich p . . . More like a Greek relic

Might make the Pub if I can get to the Station in time....depends on how fast me legs are in the later part of the day.
