Thanks for that. I think I'll just keep on attacking Melville St,
eventually it will give up and lie down.

I wouldn't say my big hill has given up and lain down, but I can
confirm that if you keep at it, it will get easier.

Set a new PB on Monday - 17ish minutes. About a minute faster than my
previous PB and no doping required!

I don't time myself up it, I can do without the pressure!

Did it in one stop again today, even though I am feeling a bit grungy.

Not sure if grinding up it at 50rpm in granny gear really counts, but
I'll take what I can get!

Me either, it's just I bought a new fandangled cycle computer that's
wireless and does trip times. I usually reset it on a Monday
morning. The one annoying thing is it's got these bloody "pace
arrows" which show you whether you're riding above or below your
average speed. I can't help myself and end up trying to go fast all
the time. I've become a slave to the pace arrow!

I keep mine on cadence, and just try and keep the revs up.

I note that flat terrain helps - I'm doing 2km more on the new
commute, and taking 8-10 mins less than the old one. Cos the new one
has all the hills rolled into one, and I don't count the resting
time just riding time 🙂

Ooh, I quite fancy a cadence one, but they were all a bit rich for my
blood (I am a tightarse riding my steel framed bike from when I was a
kid after all - I have standards to maintain!)

I don't count resting time either. I don't actually take any rests on
my commute, but I normally have to stop at the only traffic light. I
take a different route home along the bike path because it's flat and
I can go faster which is more fun than climbing.

I'm sorry, but all questions must be in the form of a question.

Mine has one of those. I learned to ignore it before I killed myself.

You got up the hill, didn't you? Of course it counts.
