The new bike looks great by the way Steve ..how are you getting on with it ?
I like it a lot, thanks. But I am just as a good/bad a climber on it as I was on the Focus. I had "assumed" (1st mistake) that 22% more torque would get me up that last couple of feet on a climb where I had been stalling. Now I don't stall, I just loop out! If I get my weight any further forward, the rear wheel spins out. If I get my saddle any lower, my knees give out. What makes it worse is that @myapes gets up the same short steep slope most of the time. I haven't got up it once! I used to beat this slope on my MTB, but that was about 7 years ago.
I hate obvious signs of my advancing decrepitude! :mad:

Well, Steve Sordy. At least, after the ‘improvements’ to your local green lane thingy, you will still be able to ride along it . This is what is happening to a local greenway [ disused railway line] near me . Being totally destroyed to make way for a £1 billion +++ useless railway line that no-one will use when it is finished.[HS2] . Although not massively exciting, it did provide a bit of fun as part of a sloppy winter ride as well as being well used by the local folks. The embankment on the right hand side is all that is left of it and that will probably vanish soon?

Edit….typing error. It’s not a £1billion useless railway. It’s a £100billion useless railway. That’s £100,000,000,000. Ridiculous…. You could get 7 or 8 top of the range Levo’s for that.

The ride into Spooky Woods at GT. It looked spookier in real life. Honest.
Did you get hungry ..looks as if you ate one & a bit Bretheren and Im sure they were intact when EMF & myself were there a couple of weeks ago ..
