Everything was going well on my ride today...
...I had plenty of food...
...I had plenty of food...
... I rode the Jacob's Ladder descent for the first time (weee..rattle rattle..weee... arg!... rattle... etc) ...
...Cairn you see the large pile of stones... fnar. Edale valley beyond, more fun descending ahead...
...Then my pedal fell off half way up to Mam Nick, about four miles from home. SOMEBODY had cross-threaded the pedal bolt, destroying the very expensive shimano hollowtech crank just enough so that after a 100 miles or so of peak district rattling it fell off. I have learnt two lessons - one, don't cross thread things, two - how to cycle with one pedal (being pigeon toe'd helps).
