I originally wanted to hit this with my Wilier and my new Aria front wheel but I couldnt get a bigger gear on it without cutting the chain so decided to settle on my carbon frame, Ralph with his new cut aluminium handlebars - this was after 4 days of maintenance set backs between @Josh01 and I so decided to call it there!
Regardless, super stiff and fun to crawl up in 50/15 on 650c wheels so 80''.
Not my fastest time but felt smooth and just happy to be out :)

Hello!
After this year's HARD DAY IN JANUARY I can say with all of me that I miss cycling but also cycling with you lot - Tuesday night hills (#hiddenhillsofsouthlondon), Hard Day In January (#hiddenhillsofallover), I haven't been yet but also seen some good TNRC rides on Strava #(hiddenhillsofkent).
We propose; LFGSS hill climb quarantine bike tag virtual reunion!
HOW IT WORKS
1 - a hill will be chosen on sunday night after dark (by the person who completes it in the biggest gear ratio)
2 - everyone will have until the following Sunday sunset to complete.
We will be picking secluded (as London can be) hill climbs. Week 1 is Point Hill- Greenwich https://www.strava.com/segments/12390318
3 - post a picture of you and your sweet fixie that you've been working on now that you have more time indoors. Also state your gear ratio - we are inclusive here but please bring your fixed or single speed steed if you have one #lfgss.FINAL THOUGHTS
There's currently a Regents Park cyclists facebook group posting pictures of non-solo riders: quite stressful just to think about. Please pick a hill off the beaten track and just be scientifically aware and considerate to your fellow human beings as the #nicestforumontheinternet.Good luck to everyone in these tough times
Please join the Strava Group, it will be like we are cycling together https://www.strava.com/clubs/618030

Thanks again @clubman @youramericanlover and @pastrybot for everything!
I can confirm I was supporting 69 gear inches as was on 650c wheels but you're right in that I do try my best to keep up with my speedy partner @Josh01 daily! -
