You're struggling going downhill there Ian

Looks like he lost his bottle.

[Dayvo]

Yeah, white leg warmers: novel.

The last 30m leveled off, but I think Ann might have been laughing enough to nearly drop her camera.

Handle bar tape, get rid of that and the climb would have been slightly easier.

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Blimey, it looks like you're struggling on the downhill.

Edit. I should have read ALL the earlier replies. <doh>

Handle bar tape, get rid of that and the climb would have been slightly easier.

And hasn't anyone told you that purple and yellow don't mix, probably cost you another 20 seconds.

Note how the chain is edited out to avoid legitimate criticism of its tautness

Cracking pictures Ian, a bit far for us to come but very tempting, would have to make a long weekend of it. I think we will know quite a few of the competitors, certainly Maryka who was the women's winner we know very well.
I don't suppose you have a results sheet? Can't find results anywhere just yet. Congratulations to Exeter also on so many children entered, good to see. What is the climb like Ian?

 

[Ian H]

We got a road closure and made it a weekend with Minehead's event on the Sunday (I mean today).

Old dogs, plenty of life, a bit of pain reminds you that you're alive...crack on, good effort. Nice 513 (?) frame too.

 

[oldroadman]

Er, 531 frame - legs still work, fingers a different matter!
