Mamil Posted December 7, 2021 Share Should set an eroica style challenge and see which hubbers can climb it on a 1980's steel frame with a 23 at the back. Sid the Sloth and MVDP fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember - it was cold at the start then got warmer and warmer during the day. Mamil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
