A fledgling Cy(cle) Twombly in the making with this photo. Of course, you should have shaved your legs, Paul...but I suppose that might have made your trousers a bit flappy...Nothing broken ie: above the shoulders I hope...must have left you a bit ashen-faced once the shock set in...
Edit: I've just realised
Without Paul, Simon isn't going to have a sleeping partner at the table this morning...unless McWobble is en route. A lovely 10C in London at the moment, cloudy, overcast - but enough about me. 'Bon ap'. in slimybreakfastworld, you lot.
Well that was eventful! Thanks to all that helped/assisted with my rear mech problem. Special thanks to Greg who rode with me part of the way. Joan, Ruby and I arrived at Haywards Heath with no problems although I really do need to work on my navigation skills (and remember to look up for signposts).
Back home in Balham, feeling a little grumpy so will buy a bike-related item then have brekky, then take the bike to the shop.
Next ride............

Teef, you have just completely blown that up out of all proportion...
Paul, thanks for the reminder that I need to pop down to the farmers' market to get some stewing steak!
Hope everyone had a good ride on a mild evening.

Oh Paul. So sorry to hear this. Heal quick and get well soon. The whisky went down a treat atop the beacon, thank you for your generosity. None for me: Lent, and I've given up the booze.Enjoy the ride everyone. Have a safer ride than I did to the railway station. Hmmm can't get upload to work in this state.
If anyone else reads this drink the entire load of whisky at top of the beacon without me! Give it to all, to newbies, to people I've met once or twice, those I've met many times and none. If they don't like whisky I'm sure Charlie B, User482 and GregC can polish off the rest.
I told you I didn't like downhill.

Very welcome. You coped splendidly, physically and mentally, and though it was disappointing to see you go, probably the right call in the circumstances. Tell your bike shop
chain came off and went into spokes
mech was wrapped around the cassette
mech hanger was bent as a result, it was ghost shifting like crazy after we untangled it all
mech hanger was bent back by a shaved monkey with an adjustable spanner
stop screws on mech itself were tweaked to stop the mech overshifting and in combination with the monkey's labours that fixed the ghost shifting.

clearly I am home, showered, caffeined and on-line after the best Brighton FNRttC I've done ever.
The back is where it is at. Except when it isn't.
What a lovely bunch of people you all are.
