Grizdale, a couple of years ago, the 35 mile challenge in September, not a problem because I’d done it a few times before!
Start of the race, no problems until 2/3 miles into the race, Broken chain! 🙁 Fix chain! 😀
I forgot to say, weather shit5!
Another mile or two, front wheel slipped from underneath me on very wet and slippy stones, now two very hurting and bleeding knees! Splash of water on the knees and a rub and off I go again!
Front puncture! 😥 Fix puncture! 😀
Rear puncture! 🙁 Borrow tube from my mate! Fix puncture! 😀
After 30 miles, guess what? Puncture!! Very nice man with spare tube to my rescue!
Crossed the line in 4 hour and 25 mins!
I was a broken man, cold, dirty, tired and very very wet!
I said I would never done Grizdale challenge again after that, but I did, a couple of times! 😀
