some shots from our leg breaking bike holiday this week in argyllshire - a place littered with horribly vertical climbs and stunning scenery...i made it over an old nemesis on the B836 at loch striven in a one-er, the last time i rode it was around 25 years ago and i think i was around two stones lighter too! checking my old ron kitching diary, i did it on 42x21 and on a winter bike - today it was the eddy merckx and 39x26t...WHAT HAPPENED??! :shock: this hill goes up in 4 sections with a short flat spell in between to let you get your breath and your legs back....briefly!
the other nemesis shown here was a no hoper and broke my legs and lungs completely....torture!! the lower right of this shot shows start point down in the glen (glendaruel) and was taken shortly after the first hairpin!! :shock:
agony, but retrospectively (of course!), great fun indeed..
