Well, it most certainly wasn't pancake flat when you consider the ascent of 1900ish ft we did :oD The number of people we passed that were whinging about the climbs.....too many people forget that we live at the foothills of the Pennines, therefore we are not in Lincoln or Norfolk with endless miles of nothingness and nowt above 1% grad. Still....nowt really to complain about.<br /><br />@ Emma. You did bloody amazing to cut that amount of time off the Mcr-Bpl times!! I'm kinda used to riding in some level of pain - November and December were spent riding with fractured ribs, torn shoulder ligaments and (un-splinted) fractured wrist, so a pinging pelvis ain't too much to worry bout (or is it???). The pelvis is more of a concern than the others really, but I was forewarned there'd be pain for some yrs yet!<br /><br />@ Rafe.

I think having ridden 2 other rides that were over 1000ft of climbing in the same week didn't really help matters either!<br /><br />We all did brilliantly!<br /><br />@ Joby. Don't forget there's Over Peover and Lower Peover too!<br />I didn't notice any pins either, so maybe the wheels of the three guys in the road picked them all up?????Lost Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246425421451507874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-74434836070695295092009-09-07T14:53:26.234+01:002009-09-07T14:53:26.234+01:00Lol.
