now this is a hill

[Velouria]

 

If anyone can do Pompstasie under 9min43sec' date=' and prove it then let me know. Not my time by the way... 

 

Gradient is 7.8% for around 4km. It's like Alpe D'Huez, just 10km shorter.

 

People actually do go up there and "pomp', even in the day. So it's not just the water purification that gives it it's name...

swiss van....you will need to save them as an image file first....just save on your desktop and then insert as an image/pic.  that should do it

 

Ja right...

 

Where do I find the option to save the graph as a image somewhere else i.e on my desktop or in another file?

When I click on the save button (or select save in the file drop down list) all it does is save the graph as it appears in my training dairy entry and does not give me the option to save it anywhere else.

 

Further help appreciated,

Muto Obrigado...

Presumably "pomping" at altitude increases oxygen carrying capacity.

Belgian beers are just like Belgian hills, when compared to their Dutch counterparts: They have higher percentages, are slightly rougher, you can handle less of them in one go and boy, do you remember them the day after! Oh, and they are talked about and longed for all over the world.

Hill? You mean hell!

 

Actually, I've seen that climb from an aeroplane and thought it looked tough. Glad it's got a name and a reputation among cyclists. Plan to climb it one day for sure, the descent has got to be worth it!

You just couldn't wait to get that in, could you!  The similarities between Belgian men and beer don't end there though:  they are both a bit old fashioned, short and stubby, mostly found in bottle stores, have very thick heads and need to be replaced often by another to prevent boredom. Beat that!

I expected a backlash from my original post - but wasn't prepared for a KO

 

You must be talking about the 'OLD' Belgians - I'm one of the 'NEW' kind  - NEW and IMPROVED - still short though

 

Eish - how to get out of this one

We ended up on the Spruit - the bike we borrowed was a bit of a nightmare as the shock leaked fast (had to lock it out) and the gears slipped (cable rusty and stuck) - so Jo didn't enjoy her ride! It also was the first time she mtbiked with proper shoes and cleats - she's not that confident for the Crater Cruise, so I think we'll ride together and enjoy it! Hopefully we can sort out the bike soon!

 

So after 3 hrs playing around on the mtbikes we went for another 3hrs on the road...
