On The Rotherhithe stretch, when we got onto the Thames path.I found myself at the front with a lovely stretch in front of me. Well being the idiot I am i decide to accelerate as fast as I could. The path went under this building and this fucking step appeared from nowhere. I was going too fast so I attempted to jump it but caught my wheel bore the brunt of it. I dont get how I stayed on the bike. But I knew there was something wrong with the bike instantly. Jim pointed out the problem with the forks. Had to slow it down from then onwards due to very unpredictable handling. That will teach me not to be such a cock! Yeah right!!
Exactly that. I hate being South of the river ;)!!
