A public chapeau

Hmm, I think that this very classy rider might just hurt an old bloke like me quite a lot on the climbs - won't even mention against the clock. Very impressive, now a little winter break, keep the legs spinning, and onward to another excellent season, no doubt. The future is safe in the legs of talented and determined people.

Thank you, kind words. I will pass that on, I might even get her to write something but she is very modest and always praises others and does not think she is anything special. She could not be more wrong, if she was able to train the same number of hours per week that her competitors do I have no doubt she could be National Champion in at least one discipline, however that is the way it is and not much we can do about it. I am very proud though.

Well done

Amazing stuff

 

[cyberknight]

Kudos!

I dont think that would slow her down that much, I was thinking more of one of these then we might stand a chance on the hills

One of the guys who races came on a club run on a MTB , not the same league but you get the idea ......

Brilliant stuff. Don't suppose she gives lessons?

 

[jazzkat]

Great results. Well done @dr_pink chapeau

She's taught me a lesson or two on the forum rides

Great stuff Dr Pink, must be nice to be able to pig out for a few weeks now

Good find!
The agony on the riders faces got progressively worse, catchers were very busy at the finishing line. This was 1200 metres of tough climbing, anyone on here who knows the hill will understand how difficult it would be to race it let alone ride up it.

Found the video, Helen makes an appearance at 8.20 something but it is a great watch anyway.

Ha ha - I enjoyed that in a sadistic kind of way!

It was making me feel a bit sick just watching it, reminding me of many years of struggling up steep hills round here.

Rider number 30 (5:30 in) seemed to have misjudged his effort somewhat!
