Bugrit. My brother died last night. He went into a hospital last week and died under a week later with a cocktail of cancers topped off with pneumonia. I'm ok, my time's now more given over to supporting my mother.

sorry to hear your news.

Today's Lunch stop.

I actually had to cut today's ride short due to a broken chain about 30 miles in. First time I ever had that happen. The chain didn't actually break but the joining link has disappeared and I couldn't find all the parts of it on the road despite looking in the hope I could put it together again and continue. No idea why that should happen now as the it hadn't been disturbed in several years.

Had to hitch a lift of a stranger and drive back for the bike, hence being home earlier than planned.

I suppose the moral of the story is to carry a chain tool and a spare link but I've never done that with hub gears or singlespeeds as I always felt problems were more likely with derailleurs.

The end of a fantastic day, all choriographed by @User who has been an amazing champion for Csmbridge.

I assume that this was a rerun of "Vernon Day," last year?

Seems like you all had a jolly time! (Again!)

Good on yer !!

It was, and we did. Cambridge is a lovely city, and the participants even lovelier.

It was. And a great day was had by all....

Other than a brief shower during the ghost walk, the weather was good and the company better.

Ironically, I was in Cambridge the day before you're gig!
It was an unassociated coach trip but I remember a) the city and b) how bloody hot it was!!

^^^^^
This relates to 2016!

You know if you need some money there are more dignified ways of going about it.....

Might I request that, as per last year, any reruns be arranged in public on the forum and not via PMs? I was completely unaware of this going on until the posts on here. I might well have attended had I known about it, and I can't be the only friend of Vernon to have been in this position. Not terribly pleasant.

Half moons! We got up early, eyelids still shut and went off and did a car boot sale. On the upside I bought a 1963 Woodrup cycle frame with fancy lugs.

Pics?

Sorry to hear your bad news, it must be hard on your mother, you expect to go before your children.
