I remember being at the back on every up and every downhill when I started....now I can ride happily with the same group. Problem is I now ride with faster people, who are all faster than me so I'm back to being at the back. Have a great 2012 and i hope it involves lots of riding. p.s. Nothing wrong with being a data geek, I love my spreadsheets! The being able to keep up just happens with riding.

I have no doubt. If you can do it at 19 stones then by the time you are 14 stones you will be flying round the mountains... I bet you become a noisy biker and never stop talking all the way round, cos you will have loads of spare breath huh? We aren't biking, we're laying fibre round the mountains, hope you come and visit us, we have 265 km to lay. Is there an app for that? It should be on gps for the history books. Let us hope 2012 brings us all what we wish for. good luck to everyone chris x If you want to do it then you will. I have no doubt.

Try 'up to the hubs in slurry.' Bits of that were like riding through treacle (if treacle was 6" deep and comprised mostly of vaguely hydrated cow manure). Bugger the ascent, the 'technical' bit was being up to the fetlocks in unmentionables for half the ride. *Looks at you* Twas fun though. Mud? MUD?
