Ooof taking that Daccordi through a muddy field in January, you evil man ;) You were lucky it did'nt buck you off into the nearest bramble patch. I hope you were apologising to it the whole time and continued to begged for forgiveness all the way home after the clean up.
Chapeau for getting out though, I hoped to today but its so grim, sod that. I decided to carbo load and drink beer instead, ahead of attacking some Kent hills tomorrow, and only if its as dry and sunny as the Beeb says its going to be, but I'm not holding my breath.

Fairweather bike! Ha!
It is meant to be. But yesterday I took the triangle to Maidenhead for a flat fast fifty back home. Took a wrong turn almost immediately and then attempted a short cut back to the route.
Through a field.
A muddy field.
The new gum walls just span whilst I was pedalling, leaving me stationary and the mudguards and brake calipers filled with mud and grass.
Walked for twenty minutes, pushing the bike, my feet becoming more and more like Worzel Gummage on the way.
First garage I came to had no water pump working so I did my best with tissues. Another fifteen miles til the next garage and a proper clean up.
Anyway, good to hear that your chrome rear triangle bore no ill after effects.
