I'm thinking if I go for the MTB prize at Catford it'd be kind of against the spirit of the thing to fit slicks. So I'll be on my full suss xc bike, complete with 27 gears, hydraulic disc brakes and 2" knobbly tyres! I will fit bar ends though, and I'll probably lock out the suspension...

Wal, given your performance the few times you've raced I wouldn't be surprised if you beat a few on their normal bikes.

It'd be cool to beat a few roadies but I have to say, this kind of hillclimb isn't really my thing; I'd rather grovel away for 15-20 minutes or more than sprint for 2-3 then hurl. Looking forward to it (except for the hurling)!
