Soggy Wednesday



A great ride today with a more than a few man - bike separations to keep everyone amused. Waynes woes with bike problems continued with a few stops here and there and eventually leading to an early end to the ride for him. The G takes the Trophy (again) for the most spectacular get off riding through the little grand canyon (it has a very rough bottom with jagged rocks) and stopping abruptly before doing the leap into the water. Wayne followed and also stalled but just managed to keep it upright. Marty also came unstuck (much to my delight) but just managed to not go for a swim; If only I could have got a photo that wasn’t blurry. Robin also found the little crossing hard going and had to jump off to prevent going for a dip. I don’t know what was so tricky about, didn’t seem hard to me……..
Later during the ride I did learn that when your cleats fill up with mud they are very hard to unclip….I managed to stop next to the G and promptly smash into his bike as I fell over……not sure why everyone was laughing.
