ChrisF Posted August 19, 2018 Share Backsberg event. Nice event. very nice route. couple of serious mud-puddles .... many riders got it wrong and went down ..... swear there were NO level roads ... either going up or down ..... no time to recover before the next hill. Been suffering with my sinusses .... the ride certainly went a long way towards opening my airways .... chest is still burning from all the coughing .... EDIT - According to Racetech I was the first in my age group . Edited August 20, 2018 by ChrisF SwissVan and Andrew_Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted August 19, 2018 Share Today i did the hardest climb that is within easy cycling range of our place, about 18km to the start of the climb which is 15.5km long and 1332 m ascent Picture from the lake shore just before the climb starts, unfortunately the end point is obscured by cloud Bladdy E bikes cruised past.... although i did almost catch up to them again about an hour later, they were pushing up the steepest part +/- 20% gradient, then they saw me and started riding again....anyway their ride does not count because they never went right to the top The red dot shows where the first picture was taken from, view from early in the climb Could have taken a train.... View from the top looking down the steep side At the top they have placed this rock from china, there are herds of Chinese tourists who support the local tourism up there. 2hrs 1 minute later View of the lake and first photo point (red dot) Edited August 19, 2018 by SwissVan Andrew_Smith, Duane_Bosch, fanievb and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted August 21, 2018 Share I wanna go back. klipberg-115.jpgVery nice picture Myles. It really tells the story of how gnarly it was! Often the pictures make it look so tame, but not this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 21, 2018 Share Very nice picture Myles. It really tells the story of how gnarly it was! Often the pictures make it look so tame, but not this one LOL. Thanks, Dawid. This was on stage one, the "tame" stage, but the whole course was like this, almost. I wanna go back to tame the dingleberries, though! That section on stage 5 was just madness. If Harry didn't ride it... just goes to show. Lombardi apparently made it look effortless. Edited August 21, 2018 by Cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 21, 2018 Share I rode half of dingleberries. Time gap between me and Matt on ss5 : 1min....Yeah, and you're way more technically proficient than I am. It's where I lost most of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
