Well I may see you there if I decide to give it another go today, my legs were tired as I pushed myself yesterday so I had to stop > was disappointed, got back on on the same point though and continued up it.

Good news AJ your not going to come last
Just missed you this evening or was it your mum Handed my sheet in at Tottington around 7.15 and headed off to the Rake. It was quite wet and pitch black but I got up and over without stopping for the first time so am well chuffed with that. Not a great time 4.56 i made it, i reckon I can shave a fair chunk off that on the day but I got up it thats the main thing
I am however nursing grazes down my left side after coming off the bike on my way home Must have been doing around 25+mph on a decent from whitefield to Stoneclough when i made a last min decision to take a left and have a crack at slacky brow (a local 1in5 climb) anyhoo the back wheel went on me and i slid down the road on my bum, cuts on my side and a sore wrist which is giving me most concern. Oh and a shredded pair of gloves, ripped sock, little hole in my shoe and bent front brake. Apart from that i'm good Just hope my wrist is ok for the weekend

That's still probably better than my time. Yeah my mum dropped the entry in as she was going out anyway. I managed for the first time to get up it in one on sunday, and then again on monday after a 20mile ride, so I thought I might aswell enter for the fun of it.

If you want to have another crack at it this week, pm me, I'll probably be doingtrying it a few times.

Sorry to hear you had a fall, atleast it's you've not broken anything
