Box Hill Challenge 2014

I am in Pantani celebration week, so after many weeks of absence I ventured down to Box hill on a glorious day... the aim was to ride with panache, a la Pantani, with the hands on the drops...
To the MAMIL who pipped me to the line: Yes, for your age and shape you're not a bad climber, but attacking 10 metres to the line after sitting on my wheel for half a mile brings no glory, I'm afraid, plus you attacked without flare and panache, just for the sake of it.
To the guy on the Carbo-tanium Serotta: Yes, I did look at you when I passed and then attacked... although the look might have been mistaken for one "a la Armstrong", it wasn't... it was a Pantani look

Forgot to take the time, but it was surely awesome and certainly top of the board... 8)

I think doing the climb totally on the drops should be included in the 2014 rules for this challenge

Given both of those styles, does having hair bar you from this particular challenge?

I think being twice Marco's weight should probably bar me!

Stock up on dope like Pantani too. Shame you dont do Strava Ugo, then we could all see how blisteringly fast you are.
