Well, caught up with HobartDave tonight. That's about it, I suppose.

Dragged my sorry @rse up the hill in a time under 20 minutes. Dave's nightly practice on the hill for the last couple of months paid dividends -- he was down in the 17-minute range IIRC. Good job on the trusty Trek.

I won the fixed-gear division. However, I was the only one in it. And there isn't really a fixed gear division, but I'm lobbying.

Looks like I might have some opposition in a fortnight because several of the truly talented have threatened to turn up on their track bikes. I'm not sure I can improve five minutes over the seven kilometre climb in that time, so I will have to let the title go gracefully.

Of course, the Bonnet is only one of the hills in the Annual Seven Hills Dash (Ash Dash, get it?), a 200km randonnee starting at 7.00am on Sunday. These hills include several of the meanest in Tasmania, including Woodbridge Saddle and Kaoota.

Up for a real ride on Sunday, HobartDave?
