POST RIDE DEBRIEF<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It will be very interesting how you write up today’s events on our blog!” said Jennifer. An understatement\u00a0 – but in brief: Four tandems and a solo set out from storage; two tandems were back within minutes. A jinxed derailleur ensured that Martin (piloted by the aforementioned Jennifer) got his name into pole position on our 2018 “Most Accident Prone Trekker” leaderboard. And whilst attempting a running repair on the said derailleur, a loud firework explodes. Except it wasn’t a firework. It was the rear tyre on Barney and Chris V’s tandem. “This tyre is broken” said Barney (although he might have used another word).\"\"<\/p>\n

Undeterred, two tandems and a solo soldiered on and joined the Space4Cycling entourage. Except, at times, there wasn’t always that much space!<\/em><\/p>\n

A very welcome and refreshing Dixon’s ice-cream at the end of our frolic made up for our earlier frustrations.<\/p>\n
