All the best to Brian Robinson I saw him in Tour of Britain in the 50s, and now on his attempt to beat his record, he has put more into cycling than most, and probably was responsible for putting the British team on the cycling map good luck Robbo.

Indeed good luck Robbo, I drove over Holmes Moss today, it was a little wild over there today.

I notice that you drove and not rode, wise man, it will be interesting to know which bike he uses too ?

If I knew what day and time he was thinking of going up the climb I'd be tempted to pop over for a look as long as the weather was OK.
