    The mind is convinced it can take a good chunk of time off that. The body -- especially the glass knee -- is screaming its disagreement!

    Nine seconds taken out of my PB today so into the 7s at last, though sadly not enough to improve my position in the table.

    Alas the weight has crept up since the last time, so while one stat goes the right way... :oops:

    EDIT: Will, I've stuck your time in too as see you beat me to the post after our duel in the sun!

    After a late lie this in morning and a text from myk-ee saying he was at the top of BH I decided to go out for a ride. Regrettably I was beset by mechanical issues which limited me a tiny bit as I couldn't change gear under load but I improved my time so its worthy of a post... under 7 minutes, too. Anyway I am off to fix my knackered rear tyre and rear cassette for a potential run tomorrow.

    Hmm just looked at my average heart rate for the climb - 161 - perhaps I better try again and try harder with the bike working properly. Anyway all fixed now.

    Lol, this healthy competition is a real boost! I am going to go for a few sneaky Box Hill attempts in the evening later in the year, but I need to finish my current programme of nasty intervals - patience is the name of the game.

    Sorry to say but I could not find away of adding my first entry (GBS), except by deleting the top and middle markers and I cannot master the formatting. HINTS PLEASE

    Not an impressive entry I know but earlier in the day I was 7 seconds slower. Are there any other vets out there? Like old racing yachts we should get a time allowance!

    Well, thanks for doing that but it would be good to have an idea of how to manipulate the table in order repetition of SNAFU. You will note the assumption that I will achieve a better result sometime!

    gbs Highlight and copy the latest table, paste in the new message box, edit with your details, preview to make sure it's all in line.

    Some great times going up! Drinking and work getting in the way right now :evil:

    Yes, sorry.... copy the table from the most recent post. (select all of it then hold control C) click 'post reply'

    click in the text box and then press control V (the table should appear) and edit it with your new details (remembering to remove your old time!) Once you have entered it, then select your entry and highlight the whole line and click the B icon above the text window to highlight it. I fyou really want to, you can add colout by changing it in the font colour dropdown box...

    submit and hey presto.

    This one is measured to the right place, and after a few other hills, so quite pleased with about a 10 second improvement. Must go straight there again soon.

    Chapeau KW! I'm planning another crack on Saturday morning before meeting a few mates to do a metric century. Your time is safe but would be nice to shave off a few more seconds, although my form isn't great at the moment so I'm not too optimistic.

    @AV sounds like it could be fun to try that one day, do I get time off for having ridden 120ish miles, and having to carry lights in order to get back home again in one piece? :wink:

  • Hi all... Done BH a couple of times, but getting their on your tod is a real pain. Is there such a thing as a nice calm freindly route from Kingston area. 16 miles of busy roads leading to M25 are a real turnoff...

    Any suggestions would be much appriciated... Thanks SB77
