This will make you laugh!!!

Halfway round my 30 miler today and in the middle of nowhere there’s a nice stretch of road about 5 miles long with a couple of rises and dips
If you go ‘balls out’ downhill in top gear you can build up enough speed to get uphill without changing gear
On nearing the top of the rise had to get out the saddle
The only way i could describe it was like peddling uphill with the back brake on full!
Oh bugger! I thought – glancing down i could see the brake blocks free of the rim
Bearing?! I thought after peddling downhill in my lowest gear (crazy!!) pulled up in a layby, got off the bike, lifted the rear, tried to turn the back wheel
Imagine trying to turn the back wheel with the brake on – thats just how it felt but the blocks were free!!
Right! I thought- im in middle of nowhere, if the bearing was seizing there’s nowt i can do but ‘soldier’ on
Carried on for a further couple of miles till it got unbearable and stopped again
Got off the bike and thought i’ll give the wheel a whack with my wrist – failing that its along walk home (about 8 miles)
Looking down at the wheel again you could have knocked me down with a feather!
What had happened was (i think) on getting out the saddle on that first hill, i must have given it too much ‘sideways action’ and the wheel had worked lose and was ‘rubbing big time’ on the L/H side chainstay!!!!!!
I’d peddaled nearly 3 miles like this and thinned considerably the L/H side of my rear tyre!!
On re tightening said wheel off i trundled

I’ll get me coat
