Ride from hell

Thanks Dave, the ride from hell needs to be logged!

ride from hell? i’m intrigued…

I cheated by waiting till i was visiting my folks in (flattish) Ipswich instead of biting the bullet and doing it in (far from flat) Bath. Nice ride, I was testing some Gipiemme wheels too and forgot to check the tyres, so didn’t notice the bead wasn’t in properly and the rear wheel blew out right by the valve at about 6.30am in the wastelands outside Lavenham. Took me three goes to patch it with my fat, frozen fingers…
