Yeah ok I was last up the hill (wife just teased me about as well) but the other guys had to sit around in the cold - I had some slippage but I'm trying to break in my pogo stick - lets just say its quick down hill but sloooow up hill.

I'm loosing too much forward motion with all the bouncing, even though the rear fox shock is pumped up to 250psi!

However all the extra effort is getting me fitter quicker :-)
