Lol, you people who ride for fun rather than transport. Going back to do it again! To be fair, that's the best way to get better so you can label me jealous 😉

Lots of useful tips in the thread. Riding at an angle to the climb helped me out of a difficult spot too.

There's a few nice trails around Ashton Court with no entry cost, Nova Trail being most obvious. I've ridden hairier sections of the Cornwall cliff path though and I've been meaning to return to Bike Park Wales, which offered some welcome variety. I'm very much an on/off biker though. Mostly...
