Phil Malcolm Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Off down to sunny Lancashire to take on Ramsbottom Rake on Sunday, looking to build on my stunning 92nd place on the same hill in 2005 (I did beat Michael Hutchison though!)... Long way to go for 4 minutes of pain, but there we are! Jannza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted October 23, 2012 Members Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 All the best, Phil. Post up your result as soon as you know, please, and I'll keep an eye out for it on Sunday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Have a good one Phil - look on the bright side...there's fine beer to be had at the top, in the excellent Shoulder of Mutton in Holcombe. Mary used to have a house in the next village down the valley (Helmshore). Great country for any kind of bike ride! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Malcolm Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 No idea where I finished... my time was 3.33 and fastest time when I left was 2:41 so not pulling up any trees! The day was slightly marred by me falling over on a wooden floor 5 minutes before the start and injuring my back. Gave Glasgow Wheelers' Dave Griffiths a lift down and he had a stunning ride in the 2:50s Pictures to follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Malcolm Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Was happy just to get up it Paul, I can barely walk now... my arms were most tired bit after I finished as there was no balance coming from my back at all.

Members Richard Posted October 29, 2012 Members Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 That looks like hard going, Phil. Is that you all done for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Malcolm Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yup! 2 Weeks off then back to the horror of gym and turbo. Really happy with how the year has gone, despite some inturruptions, winning the club HC was a big deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
