Here's a challenge for all those people who are a little bored and have nothing better to do with their time. Climb the Califer from the junction at the bottom, to the viewpoint sign at the top. See if you can beat 5min20sec. Gotta be a standing start. It aint easy with a 11-23 on the back I'll tell you.
Let us know your times and it's 6 free range eggs for the winner.

Which junction?
The crossroads halfway up or the junction on the outskirts of town so you have to climb up past the quarry?

Is this using the same front ring from start to finish?

I assume this is correct as you use Shimano and it wouldn't change all that well when you started climbing!!!

If the time is from the Cathay crossroads can I be your manager because I've always wanted to be in a following car at Le Tour.

That's more like the response we should be getting on the forum. Is it because of the chance of getting something free???
It's from the junction halfway up, but we could try from cathay junction if preferable. Also, Hamish, yes it was in the big ring. (NOT )

It certainly would not be free. As a manager I would be on a percentage of your earnings!!
