Old Windsor - What could possibly go wrong?
Route planned, food and drink ready, 11's venue identified, alarm set, what could go wrong? However well prepared you think you may be, something will get you! On this occasion, bike out and ready to go, put a few pounds of pressure in the tyres - bad idea. Presta valve broke off in track pump. Replace wheel. We're off. Fine until Esher roundabout going under A3, cranks lock and can't pedal. Halt and take refuge. What's wrong? No idea - cranks simply wont turn. Then I see: a link has snapped. Find chain tool, shorten chain, shorten ride, limp back home. I knew I should have replaced that chain! Not quite well enough prepared.
Grateful thanks to Lisa for letting me know that that a strong headwind had led to a change of lunch venue from Hurley to White Waltham. Sorry I wasn't able to share it!

At least you were remembered at lunch taken at White Waltham due to the strong blustery wind.
