A highly eventful ride with Ev and Steve across to Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) and back. Unfortunately as we got there, dry grass got stuck in the rear derailleur of my bike and ripped it clean off...!!! Even more unfortunately is that I was borrowing dad's bike at the time. He was not best pleased when I told him the next day.

I only had two gears for the 25-mile ride home, which was not easy, I can tell you.
