To all those who stopped to offer assistance when my chain went into 'meltdown' between Bramfield and
Datchworth yesterday morning, I thank you.

Also to Mrs Oakley who had to break her Sunday morning to come and get me.

Why do these things always happen at the furthest possible point from home!!!

    Wherever your chain goes "into meltdown" is always gonna be the furthest part of your journey :D

    There's an equation I think, originally proposed by the great cyclist Al Einstein, that states

    "Maximum potential for mechanical disaster/persistent and repetitive punctures/injury/loss of energy etc is inversely proportionate to the furthest point from one's destination".

    It was a day for it - met the family for a ride and snapped the chain on my SS mtb as I got there. I ended up running for 10 miles whilst they cycled :(
