He never used to be able to sit and he hasn't been riding it as much lately so wouldn't be able to for a couple of rides but it is quite impressive as he disappears off into the distance. Night riding last year involved me staring at a rapidly disappearing red dot, a lot!Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-27563902648158554642008-11-03T20:19:00.000+00:002008-11-03T20:19:00.000+00:00People climb seated on a ss, I would need to chang...People climb seated on a ss, I would need to change my gear I think!triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-70794067415261076812008-11-03T20:17:00.000+00:002008-11-03T20:17:00.000+00:00Both Jez and Stu can get up them on SS and to star...Both Jez and Stu can get up them on SS and to start with there was a lot of weaving but Stu can ride most of them seated on the SS nowJulbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-78680998959397751052008-11-03T20:09:00.000+00:002008-11-03T20:09:00.000+00:00I got up them the once I tried on my ss but think ...I got up them the once I tried on my ss but think some days I'd be walking.

The road climbs are my fitness gauge, I used to have to ride it in granny ring, I can now hang on in middle though I'm not sure the speed is much different!Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-1432624551804628512008-11-03T19:40:00.000+00:002008-11-03T19:40:00.000+00:00I've rode down leadmines one but didn't like the r...I've rode down leadmines one but didn't like the road climbs and love the challenge of getting up leadmines.

You get to ride when I'm at work which should more than make up for having a cold yesterday (hope it clears up soon)! Riding down Lead Mines is good, the drawbacks are the road climbs to and from it, they seem to go on forever.....Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-78891397802560012892008-11-03T15:48:00.000+00:002008-11-03T15:48:00.000+00:00I'm feeling grupy reading about you going riding a...I'm feeling grupy reading about you going riding at rivi when I was at home with a cold :(<BR/><BR/>Give me a shout if you ev need someone to talk to while the boys ride fast, riding and chatting are two of my favorite things - the other being eating that you seem to have forgot about!triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016200981838738662.post-56916158372789291042008-11-03T15:15:00.000+00:002008-11-03T15:15:00.000+00:00It has never occurred to me to a ride that allows ...It has never occurred to me to a ride that allows for riding down Lead Mines, I've only ever pedalled up it!
