Pork and Merrivale Hills

[kezclayton]

Hi just wanted to mentiont that I cycled from Thornbury today and managed the "delights" of Pork and Merrivale hills. Ummmm I seem to remember a rather nasty intro ride where I walked up these much to the frustration of Jeff Whitlow

I can now safely say I can get up the blighters without stopping (oh ok I did stop to wolf down an icecream for all of 5 mins by the Pork Hill bus stop sign!) ;D ;D ;D

Just thought i'd mention as I was rather chuffed with myself!

30 miles in 3 hours (not sure if that is good but I thought I did ok)

Good effort. Both of those hills are evil they seem to go on and on.

It's great when you ride up a hill you previously had to walk up. Dartmeet was my nemesis. It took me 6 month to get up the courage to tackle it again following a long walk up during the 2008 Dartmoor classic.
