Any one fancy going up the Wizard in Alderley? My 6'4" frame is not designed for flying up inclines like that and Cyclechat only has three riders registered as having gone up it. The quickest guy is only averaging 14.9 mph over the mile

Just realised ive got my first King Of the Mountains (KOM) on my commute in this morning. The section is more lumpy than hilly. See how long that lasts!

Big 'ol drop from first to second there Potts!

Obviously fossy had a tailwind
Only been that way once before, in the days where I was blissfully unaware of SSR, next time I'll try it when I'm not carrying 5kg of food for night shift

I laughed my socks off on Tuesday. Went round a new (to me) 10 mile loop and found I'd included a Cat 4 climb by mistake. Gave it a go, walked 3 sections of it. Knackered. Got home to find I'm KOM on it. Apparently the segment was defined but nobody's ridden it.

Hell yeah! Good coming down it though.

Fancy a ride out there?

Brinny Hill is a pimple. Wizzard's OK - that Segment isn't to the Tea Rooms though ? I usually ride the wizzard from Trafford Rd, or via Swiss Hill.

Will give it a whirl next time in the Area. Been trying Artists Lane also.

I reckon it's to the layby just after the brim of the hill.

Swiss Hill is the easier option though-we should take Potsy up that.

 

[fossyant]

Alderley to Wizard is the longer segment. There is also a Swiss Hill to Wizzard Section too. I'm way down the Swiss Hill only segment - that's down to my gearing !

Lost my only kom already, stupid colleague just had to go and beat it

I had a look at that - did he ride down the road, turn round and then go for it - that's cruel.

My kom up the side of ikea has fallen by 7 seconds, legs are tired today but think I can get it back next week
