I DID get out yesterday - I did 35 lumpy miles on my singlespeed bike. That post was done in the evening when I was recovering with my legs up!

For those interested in such things, I've created a Strava segment for the climb out of Flint all the way to the top: "To Pentre Halkyn.....and beyond"

https://www.strava.com/segments/14835966

I'll stick to the coastal route thanks.

I'll stick to the hillier route but ignore Strava, cheers!

In an added incentive for the strava-ites, the fastest to the top gets the KOM.


unless @nickyboy was faster on friday

I'm KOM at the moment (4 people have done it!) but I stopped in Pentre Halkyn for a couple of minutes so it's up for grabs

Wish I had a bit of time to pop down there for a bash tomorrow. I reckon that KOM could be mine.

You've got to be in it to win it

I'll announce the Llandudno ride King of the Mountain next week. Game on

Whilst trying desperately hard not to appear too competitive, the official timed segment starts at the start of Cornist lane and goes all the way to the layby on the Brynford Road out of Pentre Halkyn. Participants should try to avoid stopping for a breather in the village as I did !

Just need to find a polka dot shirt as a prize.....

Getting my KOM excuses in early... I'm riding from Holmfirth to the start, so will already have done 25+ more miles and almost 2000ft more climbing than you lot.




I'm also an old, slow, fat knacker. :-)
(thought I'd get that in before @I like Skol)

to give you guys a chance in the KOM I will be doing the flat route

 

[doughnut]

Is there going to be a KOF for the flat route as well ?

King of the Fat will be hotly contested. Like the KoM there will be a winner's jersey, this time XXXL

If I get up that hill without walking then I will claim the honorary SSKoM, unless somebody else turns up mono-geared ...

I'll agree to ride my bike in just the one gear if you want some competition, it'll be the 25" gear though
