Chilly night ride tonight!

Monday, January 30th, 2012

A nice little mtb loop tonight on the foot hills between Hay & Talgarth. Though the snow started getting more predominant on the ground half way round & the mud began freezing to the bike. Suspension damping noticeably dropped then a buzzing began… It turns out the jockey wheels on my bike had frozen solid and the chain just slipped over the top!

With only one layer over my knees too, the chill factor was really felt on the last descent & didn’t go til tucked up in bed. Steve Bennet would be going Ape! I really should have had more insulation over m’knees, thankfully no strains or twinges were picked up. One of the ten commandments for winter riding!

Thanks to Mechgrrrl for the company!
