Riders:David BrownDavid Yearley Riders = 2 Weather: Report:We joined Dan and two others for a chilly ride in the Chilterns. Out and back along the Thames and Grim's ditch, working our way to Stoke Rowe and back.It was tough going through the woods with squelchy mud covered by a thin layer of fallen leaves - pedal too slowly and you quickly come to a standstill and sink. The mud was particularly attracted to the chainset, and a few 'manual by hand' gear changes were required when front derailleurs became so clogged up they wouldn't work by the lever. One snapped chain, one broken light bracket and lots of cold hands and feet, but a great ride nonetheless. | ||
