Cynical is my middle name.

I think CyclingSAM was his best creation to date.

seems a lot of hassle for very little return, how empty would your life need to be?

Dunno but then ask the same question about his posts when on here legit.

I could well be wrong and I could easily e-mail Shaun but it takes the fun out of it.

Erm...

Actually with the return of Stonecastle, I was wondering whether Crankarm was somebody from ages ago like I was thinking a while back. His views do seem awfully like someone from the past but I can't think who.

Oh yes, all the 'moonlighting'.

ha ha like your comments, leaving the second 50 till tomorrow got to do some gardening before it rains

 

[firemansimon]

Pretty impressive.



What route did you take.

Try plotting it into http://www.bikehike.co.uk and use the elevation function to get an idea how much of a climb it was.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks what a great web site, but I do need a bit of help it takes forever to load/zoom any suggestions

Why did you leave out Boxley Hill ?

Why did you leave out Boxley Hill ?

Probably because it would have killed him by the time he got to the top!

I am talking from experience!

If you are truly a Marin maniac, you would have been up to Hawk Head on the headlands. Boxley is only about a quarter of the climb.

Or got run over!!

If I had the faintest idea of what you were talking about Jimbo I would probably agree with you.
