Mine is a hill which I avoid and slightly fear I managed it today but it was a real effort, silly thing is it's no way the biggest or steepest hill around and yet it almost does me every time.

I battled with it on many occasions so far the hill is in the lead, there's this odd building at the top with nothing to indicate its purpose, it's evil I tell you evil :evil:

No nemesis here, but I only commute 2 miles (I sometimes take the 20 mile route home, mind).

I'd quite like a nemesis. I do have a nickname though. A few weeks ago, one of the kids I regularly pass on my route shouted "All right, speedy!" I chuckled, but truth be told I was only doing 17mph.

suppose its better than getting called a fat b@stard by a teen at a bus stop.....

his friends loved my comeback of "i'm loosing weight cycling but you'll always be ginger"

dont think he did though :P

my commuting nemesis is East Wonford Hill and Heavitree. I will beat the barsteward one day, for the meantime I will keep chipping away at it but it won't beat me.

To be honest with the time of day that I commute there arn't many other cyclists around so the only thing I have to beat are the urban foxes and badgers.

Well, at least its a M&S pineapple. Yours is from Lidl.



Have you been into yours? Could be a tardis.

Alternatively, there might simply be some questionable soggy paper packaging and a faint smell of wee.

I don't have an arch nemesis, but I know I am the arch nemesis of anyone who takes on Shooters Hill :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
