Welcome to Nowhere

And again it was an unmitigated Knock out , He beat me fair and square , I had no chance on beating him and in 2 weeks we have another rematch.

For those of you who don’t know what I am on about let me put some information in here : going south from London toward Brighton , you go through some hills , but 5 miles/8 KM (after doing 50 odd miles/83 km ) you come the that last big hill before the descent to Brighton, there are several passes where you can cross those hills and one of them is “Devil’s Dyke” , it is a beautiful view point on to the shore line with a gold club at the top, but it is a very steep hill to climb that stretches goes on for more then a mile.

Last year when I did the Capital to Coast I had a wager with a colleague over a Pint that whom ever breaks at this hill owes a pint at the finish line , when I reached thew end I owed him , but it turns out he owed me too so we called it even.

Yesterday I did the ride from London to Brighton as a part of my training , and we crossed at Devil’s Dyke, and as you can see from the title, I lost again . I am not kidding my self ( or maybe I am) but I want to be able to climb this hill once cycling and not walking it up.

Wish me Luck!!
