@Norry1 you need to set yourself a target of 9.54 surely - although you do at least stand a very good chance of improving your current PR of 20:41 - I mean, were you walking up it?!

The weather was starting to look a bit dodgy for Saturday but thankfully the forecast seems to be improving - currently light cloud, gentle breeze and 18/19 degrees. Perfect cycling weather

Ah, that is confusing to be fair - there's two almost identically worded segments but slightly different distances - easy mistake to make!

Might have to sneak out this week and see if I can set a better time to beat....(checks wind direction for the upcoming week )

Don't be fooled by my high placing, it was a day when I literally rode down, up and down the Gorge before visiting my Aunt so I was relatively fresh... 😉

I’m focussed on trying to spin up the first time. And in the unlikely event I have anything left I’ll have a go 2nd time up.
