Fat Lad rides the “Better Climb Than Descentâ€

Sometimes I’m so laid back I make “the dude” from “The Big Lebowski” look positively hyper and it drives Mrs Fat Lad abso-fecking-lutely crazy.

January 10, 2007 – 2:36 pm
Behind the New Inn halfway up Churwell hill basked in the dim glow of the dim outdoor lighting the pootle crew already present followed their own pre pedal routines for the ride ahead.

Few words: Pete goes to warp speed trying to keep up with Jim : The “steady” ones catch a breather (and hill medicine) before the whippets arrive: Pub! Good times, great pedalling and the best company. Riding seldom gets any better than this…… Fat Lad
