I win..mine's already stuck in liverpool..ha..


I think that "Simo's" hill shouldn't be an accepted place to get stuck this year, it's far to easy..only took Simo roughly 3mins to find it..

Can honestly say I have no intensions of challenging for this trophy, though with the rain we've had and the lanes being freshly opened today anything is possible.
Remember, keep the greasy side down!
