And, I gotta admit, one of my favorite things about Cycling Plus is all the British slang I'm picking up Speaking of which, can one of you UK TE ladies tell me what "stonking" means (as in "stonking coastal climbs" mentioned in a ride description)?
Stonking can mean fantastic, awesome, brilliant as in "stonking good time" or it can mean massive, big, steep in the context of a climb. I would tend to use it as the latter to describe a climb - lots of stonking climbs in the English Lake District!
