The ghost of Fraser-Gohtong past has been buried. Almost a year and a half from when I cramped so badly that I couldn't bend my legs, I made it up to Gohtong on the back of the Fraser loop. Climbing a 13 km 9% average gradient after already clocking 180 km in the legs is no mean feat. To those who made it up on Saturday, well done to you

Apparently there's plans for an even more "super" ride when I caome back for good. All the way to the top of Genting. For this one, if it ever happens, I'm fitting a compact crank on my bike. Pussy crank or otherwise, I don't care. We'll see who laughs last when all you can do is turn over a 34 x 26, when all you have is a 39 x 25

On the other hand, 12 more days. It's so close I can just about taste it in the air...
