I have updated and notified @4F via Facebook, but I thought it would be remiss not to also mention to all you fellow CC nuts that I have completed his qualifying ride i.e. up and down Bishop's Hill in Ipswich. I am still unable to form a track stand on a fixed gear (and also perform a skid stop), but I'm working on it. The weird thing is, at some point, I transitioned from feeling unhappy about trying to resist the forward motion of the pedals, to entering some alternative reality where it feels like I'm pedalling backwards - even though I'm going forward.
Incidentally, I'm also now thinking about how I can convert one of my other rides to Fixed Gear.
I may be becoming addicted ...
Here's a photo of the hill. (For all of you in Yorkshire, stop laughing now.)
