Went out for a cool evening blast with my regular buddy last night, both feeling tired so we agreed to take it easy rather than rush around like nutters. We ended up in a tiny village called Pendleton near Clitheroe and there was this lovely little pub called the Swan With Two Necks and well, it wouldn't have been right to ride past on a sunny evening without stopping, so we both enjoyed a nice pint of Copper Dragon's Golden Pippin. Walking the bike round to the back of the pub I slipped the Cateye computer forwards off its contacts so the walk wouldn't mess up my figures but then forgot to click it back when we re-started.
So when the inevitable sprint down the lane to Barrow happened I glanced down at the speedo and.... damn... lost it!
Loathe to lose my hard-won odometer reading I threw the bike in the car and drove slowly back along the route. And there, about 200 yards from the pub, was my precious computer lying in the road, exactly where it would have been squashed if a vehicle had passed by in the intervening 15 minutes. They don't get much traffic around there.
