Hell no.

Just tired for being knackered every time I get on the bike.

I do a lot of walking/hiking; I climbed Pikes Peak last week , so my fitness isn't awful, but my cycling muscles aren't what they should be.

Wish someone had given me a shout I’d have put kettle on as the start of the climb is only the next village along from ours

Here’s the route video, I guess being a local you’ll have a far better idea than me on where we actually went ..... after the climb I was in pain for the rest of the way round and a passenger

Well worth a look, sadly the road up Great Dun Fell was so darn twisty and narrow the ride down whilst fun was not the 200mph job I was hoping for, in fact it was so twist one of the gang (Ken ??) boiled his front brake fluid when the rotor went all rainbow coloured on him and started to glow

Key thing is not to touch your brakes apart from the approach to the cattle grid by the sheep pens to scrub off a little speed ,even more fun when it’s iced up
