Crich Tramway 100
« on: 31 May, 2008, 08:52:07 pm »
I weighed all the stuff I'd trimmed from my normal bike load, and it was 10g less than the weight of my el-cheapo digital camera.  So I had to take the camera with me.  Most pics didn't come out, but here, for your delectation and delight, are some images from today's exploits.

Two of the start:




Then two of the absolutely gorgeous hamlet of Hollinsclough.




I would have taken more, but my energies were being devoted to making the cranks turn round all the rest of the time.
Next time, I'll leave my D-lock at home, and take a helmet video-cam, for those youtube moments...

It's a cracking ride. I did the 160 a couple of years ago. Glad you seemed to have good weather.

Is there still the gruesome climb to the finish?

I did that climb two WEs ago as part of a 60 Mi ride. My frontwheel was lifting off in the last part. Lovely!

Nice shots.
