And you mate, although you scared me, appearing like that on my shoulder.
Great ride, although now I know why my rear wheel suddenly started rubbing brake blocks/chain stays, first broken spoke in 5 years(maybe something to do with sam being on my shoulder at the start ...).
This did not occur to me at all when I stopped to sort it out at 4am, and disconnecting my rear brake made far more sense! Was glad to have my tunes for the ride back to Halesworth, was lovely to see people riding in, and got lots of smiles. Was less happy when the group I was riding with got lost on the way in, taking us 1.6 Miles away from Halesworth. Was very tempted to pack it in at that point, rather than ride on 12 Miles to Dunwich, knowing I would have to ride back again (small complaint I know but at that point it hurt!)
