4kms at 6%, that's not my ideal SS climb, I'll bring the gears before I tackle it with the SS.
cycle2max ? what is that, a website or a program ?

Jayco Bay Classic, are they posting the lower grade results anywhere?
A couple of the lads from up here are down there doing the M23 race. Trying to see how they went.

[edit] since this was posted Expat rescinded his place at post 5000 through a clever post deletion ruse, thus taking 53-11 and himself out of the running.

You've foiled me this time.....but the ultimate glory of the 10,000th post won't escape me so easily.
Caught me looking when I was posting to the "expensive Road bike thread".
