Was great to meet people tonight, thanks all for making me feel very welcome. Think I'm getting the hang of this one gear thing, but it's a bit weird tanking it back down the hill when spinning yer legs feels like yer chain's come off. I suppose fixed would let you know it's still there, but I'm not sure whether to add that to the pros or cons.
At least I managed Swains Lane while wondering what all the fuss was about. Actually that's a massive lie. I did manage Swains Lane, but the legs were really damn close to giving up and only sheer bloody mindedness multiplied by peer pressure got me up there. First pint after that was the best I've had in ages.

Same again next week with any luck :)
