I had to think pretty hard about this. I think my greatest achievement is that I've built up a base level of fitness that enables me to do the riding I want. I'm not super fit. I don't do super long distances. But I can get on my bike and ride 200k if I want. This is, for someone who has never been in the least bit athletic, something of an achievement.

They just don't learn! or maybe she's just far smarter and knows how to get you moving. Has she tried it with the ironing? "There is absolutely no way you can do that lot before I get back from the hairdressers."
What Mrs B hasn't realised is that John sneaks a picture of each summit when they visit in the car...

I don’t have any achievements, but I was happy to ride up the 25% cobbles of the Kemmelberg in my 70th year.
The day before the Gent-Wevelgem race had passed that way and eventual winner Greg Van Avermaet had posted a time of just over 3 minutes for the 1 mile from the village at the foot of the climb to the top of the berg. I took almost exactly 10 minutes longer!
