a hill too far !
« on: 01 January, 2009, 08:10:52 pm »
i went out for a little potter this afternoon on the lwb thorn bike with the intention of riding the local 1 in 7  near burnham beechs . i have recently got the bike back from nobby and it now has a 28 inner chainring on it when it had a 26 on before . now i know i can climb the 1 in 7 on the 28 as i have done it before . but i appear to have lost my bottle and i back early. has anyone else has a experience like this ? ,or is it just :)
