from Twitter, someone called willowsworldly
says at 15:09:
"Now at Capel curig"

but 2 hours before that we were told: "On single speed , one spoke broken. If anyone can get a derailler and chain for me that would be great"

now, that sounds impressive to me, one speed, broken spoke.

It's Chris Wilby, and he's got more than one gear, the full text of that last tweet is:-

"9 speed Now at Capel curig"

I guess it's too late to offer to bring a spare to LLanwrtyd?

That's very kind of you to offer.
Actually, Von Broad performed some magic on the wheel at Llanwrtyd involving huge skill, patience and a large iron bar. The wheel ended up almost as good as new and I could have ridden the other two legs, but by that point my heart wasn't in the ride any more.
