Phil Malcolm Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, Hillclimb season is upon me once again! I'll be travelling down on Saturday to take this on. Startsheet looks promising bar the inclusion of my good friend/ arch nemesis Ali Robinson on his comeback from injury. He's giving me a lift out there but wants to start his warmup 90 minutes before he's off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jannza Posted September 7, 2012 Administrators Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good luck Phil. Will you be doing the all the Scottish ones too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Malcolm Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Don't think so Jan, I was thinking about Kingscavil but moving house has put paid to that. Think the calender is Hartside, Whinlatter, Club Champs and the Nationals at the end of October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted September 7, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Good luck phil. The hill climbs are the best races of the year, so I'm very jealous. Looking forward to reading some race reports and hearing about some good placings. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richard Posted September 7, 2012 Members Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Phil, there's the Inverclyde Velo hill climb on the 23rd if you're free then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Malcolm Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Grr...20:54 so about 45s slower than last year and 15th out of 50. Absolutely died in a cross/head wind in the last KM. Winner was Ali Robinson in a new course record of 17:36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted September 9, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Good effort Phil. 45s is nothing if the conditions are completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Malcolm Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 The good folks at Duvel Moortgat have lent me some clarity I did everything right for 6 weeks leading up to that, my HR was exactly where it should be for the whole ride and, by and large, I was riding as well as I did last year until the last km. Can't get too upset, especially given the quality of the field (I think catching a few people early gave me a real boost last time!). Good thing about this time of year is that there's always another race pretty soon, so just got to keep doing the little things until then!
