Great Chain Disaster of 2024

Going out on patrol with the Sarge to Taplow did not go well. There was a bad omen in the Costa gents when my trouser button popped off - an omen which I chose to ignore. Having cleared Burnham Beeches and cycling up Pumpkin Hill my chain suddenly snapped. Oh calamity I thought - who on earth carries a chain repair kit with them let alone knows how to use it - the answer is Jim Swan !! Hoorah for Jim. After quite a bit of effort by Jim, Alan Potter and the Sarge my bike was sort of hobbled togther to work in one gear. Luckily the ride was mostly flat so I was able to make it to lunch and then the return trip to Uxbridge. My apologies to everyone for the delay.
