  1. I made it up the hill out of Goring with a gear to spare (100m climb),
    recovered at 15mph still climbing gently, and only used the little
    ring the once. Not a very high average speed, but I paced myself
    well. And it was light all the way home! Luvverly :-)

    I was out on my bike this afternoon and noticed the change
    in light due to the clocks going forward at the weekend. It
    was lovely :-)

    Even better is that it was dark again commuting through the
    woods this morning.

    The hill west (with the single arrow) - a real pig and you
    get my respect if you can do that with a gear to spare on
    anything other than an mtb or the hill east - still a decent
    climb but one I've only ever done on the mtb rather than the
    road bike - 27mtb gears is cheating on that sort of a hill
    :-)

    The one East. The hill West (Streatley Hill?) used to be on
    the course for the Hairy Legs Challenge, I think, but last
    year they took the Ridgeway instead, which was a bit easy
    and I breezed up it :-)

    The hill East is still not an easy one. My bottom gear is
    30", the one I used today about 35". Hopefully by Summer I
    should be able to climb it using the road cassette on the
    'bent which gives me about the same ratios. At present I
    have the winter cassette on (when the 'bent isn't bent, that
    is) which has a 23 1/2" bottom gear.

    So, not particularly hairy-chested, but I'm not displeased,
    especially given that I'm carrying luggage.
