What a day!
Incredible scenery and amazing people!
Got beasted by a guy on a rigid single speed Jones. Jeez, almost killed myself on a step up Hill trying to hang on to him. Had to admit defeat and walk up. Really nice guy, might be buying a single speed bike off him next week, an Inbred.
Said hello to everyone I met and people responded in kind…. Apart from roadies. Got totally blanked.lol
I am shagged. Not sure I’ve ever been this knackered. Been drinking loads but only had one pee… Which was Lucozade orange colour. Not good.
And…..
Had a bad stack on a down hill a few miles after the QECP. 🙁
Damage to jeffsy:
Bent rotor, grips ripped up, paint removed from the Pikes, seat ripped,Evoc back pack ripped up badly….. and worryingly an awful noise from front wheel. Got to be loose spokes yet none feel really bad? Makes a “twanging” over bumps or when I bounce the front wheel on the ground. Very disconcerting. Taken the down hills slow and held off the front brake Incase the rim folds! 😯
Any advice guys?
Damage to me:
Need new lid, head hit the ground pretty hard. Saw stars! Lol
Broken pinky on right hand. Strapped up with insulation tape.
Not sure what I’ve done to my collar bone. Bleedin hurts though.
Blood, lots of blood from arms and legs.
In truth I’m really only concerned annoy the front wheel, any help appreciated guys. I’ll finish the Sdw if I have to walk it! Riding is better though. 😀
no pics I’m afraid, taking ages to upload and I need sleep.
In Cocking village now, bedding down on a playing field. Usually would be more discrete but I really don’t care tonight.
I want bed!
Will update tomorrow!
