It was all going so well and then disaster strikes


Having left Lands End later than planned, we were off to a flying start averaging 17 mph through the ups and downs of Cornwall. We had done over 40 miles and looking for somewhere to stop for lunch when disaster struck. Sian sort of just stopped and dragged her bike to the side of the road. Investigation revealed a broken rear mech hanger and a bent rear mech. Not something that can be resolved at the roadside even with Owen's experience! After locating an open bike shop 15 miles away Huw and Owen head off towards the shop while Sian waited for rescue by Sarah and Dave.
