.....of those Hope rear hubs as you push your bike up hill!
Yep I made all sorts of excuses to my self from the tyres being wrong, the ground being too wet, to god knows what else! But I know its just not being fit enough :)
On the plus side there is always the great descent to make it all worth while.
A little snap shot (click image for full size) from a wee mountain spin down in the South East today.... there are worse ways to spend a Tuesday afternoon.
never admit that you walk your bike on this forum, walking is for babies who have not been given a bike by Santa and for people that are old and twisted on the inside !! Never mention the W word again please..even Golf is better than just walking and walking while pushing your bike is almost as bad as using your granny ring..I went in to my Granny ring by an accident tonight and Alfie and Max knew straight away..thats how hardcore we are !
Walking..no wonder you have a girls name !!
On a side note we met some walkers today who thought the idea of mountain biking on actual mountains was brilliant and suggested we hit up lugnaquilla next and that via Table Mt was a great way to go because she seen about 20 bikers go that way before.
Maybe not all is lost with fellow mountain users like that out there.
On and first thing in the morning I'm going to smash off my granny ring with a lump hammer so I can be hardcore like the cool kids.
thats the spirit but wait until after you conquer Lugnaquilla to remove it, I know a guy who met a guy who needed to use it on the last hard climb up...
oh I think I seen the photograms of that episode !! You cannot ride up Lug unless its frozen solid or as dry as Ireland gets..but when you do..oh my God its orghasmicx !
