\"Mt<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Organised by Hobart Wheelers & Southern Vets bicycle clubs, the Mountain Welllington Challenge is one of Hobarts iconic road events. This year\u00a0Bottles and Chains are\u00a0throwing the gauntlet down and are challenging Hobarts fixed and single speed community to take the challenge and ride to the top on ‘one fkn gear’. Fixed or single speed.. choose your weapon. To enter, your bike must possess two working brakes.. not a bad idea given the steepness of the descent. I’ve only heard one story of a fixed rider making the summit.. Dave Sipsy McCaig (Hobart’s fmr Canadian courier) regaled us with a story about Canadian John riding to the top in the early hours of sunday morning after a particulary huge saturday night. If a drunk Canadian can do it.. so can you! Contact us @ B’n’C if you’re keen. We’ll run our own little sub-race within the challenge if there’s enough interest!\u00a0<\/p>\n
