DNF'ed, :(
Was so looking forward to my first 300 fixed audax. Just as we were getting out of the fog and into glorious sunny lanes I realised something was wrong with my cleat/pedal. Realized I couldn't unclip, tried forcing the cleat out further to the side and it suddenly gave laterally but still clipped in. I think my toe side then got mashed against the bike/chain/wheel. My immediate thought was that I'd broken my foot in half. Once stopped and having eased my foot out of my still clipped in shoe saw that the one cleat bolt had been stripped/pulled out. Managed to screw both bolts into the front two holes and continue 20km to Basingstoke station mainly along a busy roadkill-strewn A road in the first sunshine I'd seen in what feels like weeks.
Fractured navicular bone. Just as the weather gets nice );
Added a few more LFGSS points yesterday on the Amesbury Amble... anyone else do it?
