Iconic ascent re-visited

Thank Cruchie it's Friday. Bigman and The Ironman had planned to meet at the usual spot with the tractors to get another 2000ft of climbing. It's been a tuff week for the Ironman with his wallet and identity being stolen in Brussels. If any of you bloggers come across a man purporting to be The Ironman witha heavy Belgian accent, then please report it on this blogsite.

I am pleased to report we have the REAL Ironman. The pair headed for the iconic ascent of Col du Cleish on the tractors. The evening was overcast yet no rain forecast.Life is becoming easier on the mountain bikes. Perhaps we should add a combine or maybe a Dawes!

It was great to start the weekend with a bit of heart pumpimg. A small 40km loop with climbing of 1800ft.

Tomorrow the peleton is heading for the Dunning Hill, a massive climb famous from the 60's Milk Race. It is not for the feint hearted. Bikers beware.
