The Fit One Snaps his chain faster than a BBC repeat...

On Saturday The Fit One set off on a mammoth ride with RBS around Midlothian. Some 10 miles into the ride he snapped his chain as they climbed the A7 with the hammering pumping pedal style of Jan Ulrich. Given the chain had already been shrunk in previous repairs there was nothing else to do but coast back down the A7 for 5 miles with literally NO CHAIN! After a short visit to a local bike shop, The Fit One has returned to the road keen to ooze extra miles into his schedule before the BIG one at Pitlochry on Sunday - The Caledonian Etape - Will the Bigman retain his title as king of the mountains ( okay so there were only three of us, however it is good for the confidence)

Watch this space for Sunday evenings announcement of the results
