Well I woke up at 5 AM with a runny nose, a cough and a headache, so I guess I'm ill again, and that was the underlying cause of my aches and pains. Have felt crap all day. Oh well - this year was a write off - am sure I'll be back next year, hopefully much fitter...
My chain seems to work now I've cleaned the bike off although it is still skipping a bit. Maybe just full of grit? I've never seen a chain so gritty that it won't even mesh with the chainring though... Can't be bothered to figure it out now. The lap I did without the chain took me 2 hours! Must have been at least an hour pushing the bike.
Back home now, sat next to the little gas fire - much more pleasant than last year's burst pipe incident.
