*lol* I'm glad I'm not the only one that plans training volume like that...

That is a good time Le Velo.
I was there this morning too. Was heading for a sub 10 minute time, but bonked in the last 500 m, ended up with 10:56. Oh well, there is next week...
Lots of mountain bikers up there this morning, must be training for the challenge next month. Cheers.

Well done mate... smashing it. Friday I had a bus chasing me up there. He didn't want to overtake so sat behind me for about 500m until passing me at channel ten. Damn I thought I could hold him too...![]()

Thanks comedian, still a way To go to the 10 and under target but slowly and surely, it think it's been my 5th attempt on the back so wrapped with that as my training doesn't involve much climbing.
Climbing wheel? What did you get?
I actually had the full carbon reynolds 46 on this morning as it wasn't planned to do the climb until the other guys said so and surprisingly they climbed very well

I'm a bit conflicted on this.. I don't condone speeding but I've seen too many people approach the t intersection struggling to stop with shagged brakes after dragging them down. Better to sail down and arrive with fresh brakes IMHO.

Hmm. I dont ride with a bike computer (i log my rides on Strava for the iphone tho) - and as far as im aware i am not legally required to have a speedo. How would the po-po go about booking me for speeding if i cant tell the exact speed im travelling? Or are they just giving out warnings not fines...?
