Just landing in Haines. Where @keithaitch Your wife’s cousin’s shop is.

@keithaitch I've got a hard ride tomorrow with 2000m climbing, most I've done is 1000m.
Do you have the porridge in the traditional way warm etc or in yoghurt?
Doing a hill that I'm having nightmares about @Mark68 has done it I noticed on strava... Trapping Hill. 😔

Looks like a great place to ride.
News you can use from Haines Alaska. The girl that works here, who has a sister who owns a bike shop in Haxby is moving to Hawaii. So if you ever drop into the bike shop in Haxby just say “ hey I hear Lori is moving to Hawaii”

Thanks
It may have been when I cycled over to see part of the TDF a few years back or possibly when we've been camping in that area.

Have you done Hardknotts pass or any of those? The struggle in the lakes is very aptly named 😅. I think I must have done most of the big passes in the lakes as it was a favourite cycling spot for me years ago.

There's a pass on Bkool called wrynose I think. Did that a while and it has a decent video.

Try Rosedale chimney bank. That's a good one only 20 or so miles from me .

I'll maybe try a video and upload itt sometime.
Theres a thing I haven't heard back from Bkool about the video and ride with GPS data I uploaded a couple of weeks ago. Last time I uploaded one it came back denied a couple of days later.

Stop waffling time

I've not tried any of the proper climbs and struggle on local ones. If you don't hear from me before Tuesday's handicap it was really good cycling with you all.

 

[Randyberlin]

This was somewhere between Whitby and Hartlepool.
steepest climb I’ve ever attempted.

Sorry, i know it's too late but for long rides I have porridge warm with cut up dried fruit, apricots, sultanas, prunes and a banana on top.

I had a bowl half milk half water..... Time to go.

 

[Mark68]

Yes I always have porridge for a long ride, but also a couple of bottles of sports energy drink. That really helps I've found and also a couple of gels.
Sorry this is late. Enjoy your ride

 

[Brusgaard]

Not likely to be around for the rerun tonight, so somebody else please start it.

Should I make it, I will be under the influence of alcohol, which might impact my performance one way or the other.

 

[Mark68]

I won't be riding tonight. Going for a walk in the countryside with the kids

I can try starting it, I will have a dummy run later and report back if I'm struggling.
All being well search for me/the route at 17:00 and 17:10 the fun will begin again.

 

[keithaitch]

I won't be there, hard ride this morning and a couple of beers for a late lunch .....
