Tea? (Part 2)

[ColinJ]

I didn't think it was that bad, thinking about climbing it was worse than climbing it.

I do a much worse hill than that over Patley Bridge way from time to time.

You clearly are getting fitter, Phil!

I did the climb from Pateley Bridge towards Grassington in 2006 on my mega-hilly 200 km ride from Hebden Bridge. I made the mistake of stopping to answer my phone halfway up, and it turned out to be a wrong number ... I struggled to get started again!

I remember cycling it many years back on the Otley Triathlon......it's quite a challenge

I have only done it once and I was not very fit so it hurt!

We did my last forum ride to Otley in July 2013, when it turns out I was developing my DVT/PE. Fortunately, there were roadworks preventing us climbing the Chevin because I think it might have killed me to have tackled it!

Yes I guess I must be getting fitter, I have noticed that on hills such as Harewood Bank I can do them sitting down and in a higher gear where I used to have to climb out of the saddle Also I used to run out of breath on really long steep hills and that happens less often now.

It's funny you should say about the ride last year I was thinking on the way up the Chevin how bad an idea it would have been for you to have tried to climb it then, thank goodness for the road works.

@Arch have you been leaving your stash lying around again Bin bag of cash containing thousands left on York doorstep

That reminds me, years ago I used to work for a shopfitting firm. I wont give too much away but they had the contract to re-fit a chain of Build Societies that had a name similar to a church. The usual procedure was that a gang would go in the weekend to strip out and skip everything prior to us starting on Monday. Amongst all the rubble was a black bin bag containing £40,000 that was supposed to be collected by the Bank staff before the work started. ooops

Just been out in the rain to check on my water butt and there was only a trickle into it, so I repositioned it and now we have a flow.

Was a shame about those roadworks, I was so looking forward to that big hill of pain

It's not like there was any warning about it being a low bridge. Oh, hang on ...

Watching a very interesting programme on bbc2 called the men who made us fat. Amazing how much our government is in the pockets of big business.

You make a good cuppa Rocky ta.

How is TVC getting on with his " likes" now? Can we stop going through the archives tapping " like" now or is he still feeling unloved ? :-)

It does surprise how blatant they are about it I am not surprised there are so many people with a serious weight problem in this country.
