Pyro has decided that the 'theme' for the next photo comp is 'Up Hill Struggle'

We've all been there and some b'tard has no doubt recorded the moment, so post your pics up below.

Okay voting is now open over here - http://bearbonesbikepacking.blogspot.co.uk/

There's some great entries this month.

You can just about see me halfway up the trail...the worst thing was that I was going the wrong way. Someone thought it would be funny to tell me that it was where we were going and to laugh at me busting a gut in the 20 odd degree heat! Yeah, hilarious. :roll:

I'll call it: 'The tail-end of a bugger of an 8 hour climb in Austria'

First post on here I think..long overdue )

Pushing just below the col Anterne on the GR5 in the early morning, after a wrong turn meant carrying and pushing most of the afternoon and evening the day before from 500m upto 2400m. To add to the struggle I had a mild case of the 5h1ts from a dirty water bottle. The ride got better after that.
