Went for a last minute ride at 8.35pm from my house to the top of Wideford Hill, which towers like Alpe d'Huez over Kirkwall, in the sense that it is covered with radio masts, but less so in the sense that it is 740 feet high.
Nevertheless I do have to descend to practically sea level before heading up, not like those poofs in the Tour de France.
This was a test run for 5/5/10 to see how long it took to get to the summit, and I was gratified to do the round trip in 40 minutes, about half of which was spent grinding in the granny gear at 3-4mph.
[The taunting menace that is Wideford Hill, route up is from the left of the picture, just off the side]
Now there is no excuse not to do this every day, other than the huge cost in brake blocks coming down.
