Rode the route of the Beast from the East on the long barrow laden with food and clothes.
No DIY no cards required as it was just for the fun of it.
Cold overnight but picked up on day two.
Usual collection of breakages.
4 punctures and a slashed tyre.
Lost wheel nut was a bit scary but luckily the hub stayed on the axle or it could have been messy.
Not sure if it was on for the descent from the Blackdown hills
Made use of a crank bolt until Halfords in Winnersh provided some new bits.
Pace picked up again once we knew the machine had a chance of staying together.
And inspite of all that it was still a PB for the route
