Important development. An ice cream van has arrived at loughton. The queue is long.
Starting to cloud over a bit. That might help a bit. I'm sure Tim can do this. He didn't get to be a sergeant major then officer in a specialist engineering regiment by accident. I just wish it wasn't so painful out there.
361 in now. A lorra lorra riders suffering still

I think arallsopp should sponsor an award: The A. Allsopp Trophy for most creative use of cable ties on LEL.

It's not just LEL. McNasty[1] snapped his downtube on HBKH (Hamburg-Berlin-Koln-Hamburg) and rode the last 500km with it bodged with zipties:-
