Got up early and took the tyre and inner tube off of the broken wheel, at 8:30 headed of to Calne and Peddlers shop, only to find that it is closing down today....another victim of Gordon 'Fecking' Brown's junta...
So we tried a couple of shops in Swindon where they couldn't help us, we headed to Evans Cycles in Bristol and I bought a new back wheel a Shimano RS20, I will get the old RS10 fixed in City Cycles in Chippenham and keep it as a spare :-).
When we got back home the postie had been and delivered the new 105 rear cassette that I ordered from ebay, so I fitted it to the new wheel :-)
I replaced the chain with the new KMC chain that I bought as a spare for JOGLE and cleaned up and lubed the jockey wheels on the rear derailleur.
When I finished the bike had bling!
Eventually I managed to make it out on the bike!
As time was running short I just went out on my 'Normal 25'...Something very strange has happened with me as even this ride was considerably faster than normal!
According to the cycle computer I did 25.59 miles in 1 hour 22 min with an average speed of 18.4 mph
The GPS track can be found here...
Time to get back on the bike.
