Oh crap, I hope you are OK. Did you get the details and report it? How bad is the damage to the bike?
The bike survived pretty much unscathed. I dropped my shoulder when I realised the merde was going to hit the fan, and my arm and shoulder took the brunt, my ribs got clattered by the wing mirror. The funniest thing is, that it was being driven by 2 nurses. The car behind them was 2 doctors from St. Richard's. You couldn't make it up. No harm done, I'll get over it.

Brilliant - could have only been improved if the 2 x doctors had been followed by a 'claims direct' solicitor!!

Glad you are OK.......probably justify beer/wine as a medicinal sedative for tonight...

Took this yesterday whilst out. Hard to believe that its November and I was still in summer kit! It also explains why I can't climb!

Hills were in a moody...mood...this morning

Completed my first metric century today at 103 km, - so 64.5 miles in protestant, 4,500 ft of climbing.

Modest by most standards on here, but I'm happy.

65 miles and 4k ft of climbing, could not work out why I was so tired until after I got home and drank a litre of water!! Should have taken two bidons.

Good session on Saturday. Hit a decent line with this sucker in it for the first time.... and then multiple times after! This still doesn't really do it justice. The lip is quite a beast!

Yesterday's (afternoon) ride...


...started off nice enough, but soon descended into a wet one, at one point even a potential washout.


But I rode on anyway. At least until pedaling effort increased, and output reduced.


That stick will be why it's harder to pedal, and it's making that funny noise. The chain is no longer running on the jockey wheel properly.


And after the thick end of three hours getting soaked, and caked in mud and road spray, the sun decides to come out, just long enough to mock me as it disappeared beyond the horizon. Grrr!

Yellowjack - you appear to be cycling on water.

You're not....

No, not David Blaine. (But GPS drift on my Strava feed sometimes has me "doing a Moses" across a local lake) wink

The photo was taken leaning over the railings under a road bridge over the Basingstoke Canal in Fleet. I was trying to frame the shot better, so that the rain was more 'obvious' in the still image.

Got the wiggle organised Hill-o-saurus in less than two weeks so got out today on my day off.

Beautiful day out in Shropshire today...



And did a quick blast around my local trail, unsurprisingly was the only one there at 9am. smile

If you want an 8 speed replacement Shimano Deore derailleur - let me know as I have a brand new boxed spare.
Obviously my shifting wasn't smooth so I had to buy an entirely new bike! (After buying a replacement derailleur I never fitted...)
