    Today was better, only 1 incident of forgetting to pedal! Was pootling because of the rain though, which probably helped.

    44 / 14 is proving quite nice overall. I missed the extra 2 teeth on the cog going up Broomfield hill though, that was tough.

    pangolin - I don't go that way on the fixie after having to get off and push. I go up through the middle - much more civilised.

    Yeah, on 44 / 16 I could just about keep cycling up it. 44 / 14 was more trackstanding/grinding up.

    I think I will join you in the middle today!

    broomfield is quite steep! it's doable but not nice at around the 80inch mark mind you riding up with full paniers probably wasn't the smartest move....

    I tend to take dark hill as it's easier and I do like going down broomfield! up though is no fun on a SS going down though is!

    Yeah but going down in the rain on a FG... not so much
