Ian Taylor - yes, he was doing the Richmond Grand prix, hence him missing this one. But he has won this event a few times, including the last 2 years.
He beat me in the first one of the season by 3 seconds on Quarrington Hill when I was 2nd again (GRRR).
He was second on Hartside last week to Dom Munnelly (I was 10th, but it is ore of a testers climb).
Ian is still a very handy hill climber.
Peth is good, brutal at the bottom though. I think of the North East HC's, Carlton bank is the most savage, cleveland wheelers, absolute killer. |

Indeed I am shocked at how much time I lost to the lanky fek over that climb. Was not expecting it to be so much frankly as I felt that I should have the benefit of power and a bit more riding than him but alas I was wrong. Rich did run a marathon just two weeks prior...
Getting lashed and smokin tabs the night before at my buddies wedding probably didn't help... I'd rather go down with the Cippo attitude than not. Added with underestimating what being over 2 stones heavier than racing weight does to one's performance.
Hodge rides his bike most days to work IIRC and from time to time does weekend rides but from what I understand he's doing this poxy running thing.
As for Hodge saying I need to learn some humility - he fails to post that I heartily congratulated him on his performance once I had checked it out with the time keeper.
No bother - as long as my knee is ok for the weekendhurt my knee yesterday. - I'll be dishing it to him - no problem If I feel ok after this - I might go in for the second one which is longer but much less in gradient I really feel it might not be quite right for me.
I'll keep you all posted... could I even the score to 1/1? (Gulp)
