• That was the year I had a badly built rear wheel which was so wonky it was rubbing against the chainstay and I had to open the release on the rear brake to allow enough room for the wheel to be readjusted in the dropouts so it would rotate freely.
    The walking was because I was fucked from having to ride with it rubbing for the first two thirds before I realised it was fucked...
    Anyway as you were...

  • I'm calling you out on this, the walking was because you'd just spent a few hours drinking Guinness with @jonny in a riverside pub. I remember that year well, your wheel was jammed up against the chain stay and we all guffawed about it while we drank.

  • in defence of corndog he did have some serious brake rub before the drink rub. whether he has ever successfully bested canonbie anyway i have no idea.

    loved the two TLCs I have done. massive respect to the cobblemonster. hoping i can get involved this year though diary rub might prevent.

    still smile every day as i cross grays inn into calthorpe street and see the little pink arrow stuck to the lamp post

  • calling me out on what?
    you've just corroborated my story, and have added in the pub detail.
    You believe the drinking affected my climbing ability, I believe the bent wheel tired (see what I did there) me enough that I was unable to complete the ascent.
