Report:
A select group of seven set off on a hot & lumpy ride.
Chain Hill proved to be a very hard climb (sweat) (sun)
A very nice ride through the Ilsleys & up into Stanmore.

Nick suffered a mechanical between Lilley & Chain Hill,
resulting in his chain getting jammed between the smaller ring & the frame, but by using a stick he managed to unjam his chain.

My strava recorded that our elevation gain was 1,873ft!
Well done to everyone (clap) & thank you for all being an easy group to lead :)
Distance:
