That was soooo good! Me, Sarah, niamh, Emma, Jason, and emmett. Mal must have decided on a lie in. 3 times up the switch backs (4 if you are niamh or emmett) in the heat, was tough going, but so worth it for those trails. Late for mass and the new Mars were fantastic. Lost Sarah early to a mechanical, about a second after she said something about derailleur wrecking territory!
Thanks all
Yep great spin for the first hour until we entered what I have nicknamed derailleur graveyard. RIP to my rear mech.
Thankfully between a visit to two bike shops for a new derailleur (think I got the last sram one in the country) and hanger, and a visit to the bike workshop of dad my bike is back in business!
