    It's a nice climb , but there's too much pedestrian traffic to do a race type challenge imo.

    You can sprint up as much as you want up a 10% hill, even between people / dogs, not much risk there ;)

    My claim to fame is that I once passed Alex on the "hill" beside Omni centre in Santry.

    He was on his Pashley. I was on my road bike!!

    got a Gazelle which I hated. Sold it on and now use an old Giant belonging to one of the kids.

    Some people are just amazing. Sorry I couldn't get up to shake your hand but I'm sure I'll have a chance at some stage. Funny I've not met you given you were in my shed :pac:

    This story made me think of you and maybe next time you'll do it with a fridge freezer on your back
