hill climb

today i rode in a hill-climb time trial

the race is 1.1km and rises (only) 70m but feels much harder. uphill for every metre and gets progressively steeper towards the end.
there is always a good crowd for these events. people seem to like to watch the agony.

i did exactly the same time as last year, despite feeling much worse - so i think that's good news. apart from having to wait another year to try again.

gosia took the pictures but unfortunately had the camera set on shutter priority and a shutter speed of 1/40s. lots of other folk there with cameras though so no disaster.



notes to self for next year: change the bars - front was too low. 48*18 is ok but maybe 48*19 and spinning would be better
