Today I thought it was a good idea to do Matlock Bank Road Hill climb on my tricycle.
It was the unofficial , unsanctioned, annual trike champs , and I won it by a second.
Pushing 44-25 up there was no fun. Cadence averaged 41, with a spell of just 10.

That looks like one fast tricycle
What’s it like cornering? I guess you can’t lean??

It’s ok on left hand turns , but roundabouts are difficult. It’s a 1960,s steel framed Higgins with chinese wheels. I’ve done a mid 22:05 10 mile TT on it so quick if I can get it in a straight line !

Now I’m really curious… Why ok on left hand turns , but by implication not on right hand turns ??
Not sure, it might just be the way I’m wired

56/44 on the front for TTing , 11-25 on the rear.
Tried to put a 39 inner ring on the front this morning but rounded one of the bolts and ran out of time

12 hours this week!
I worked 77 hours this week, which is more than the previous 6 combined !
So quite proud to keep training through the tiredness that comes with working at night.
Mostly bike tri wise, lots of core and circuits.
Stick at it folks

Whilst going around a right hand corner if I remember the hill rightly - although not much of one, so I guess not a problem?
Good job you won, otherwise that gear screw-up would’ve cost you it!

So much for taking it easy!
Looks a fair bit slower on the second half of the loop.

First thing I’ve looked for as I’ve woke up
Could current account for 15 minutes? Or short?
Or was he just sandbagging and he’s been following the swimming thread intently
