Slim arrives with loose cranks and 2 faffs later has to retire his steed, El Puds smugness at another’s poor maintenance only lasts until lighting up time when his TJ light fails (cheap seconds??)

(Editor’s note : Thanks to El Pres for loan of the “H@nd J0b”….ooh err missus. Hollowtech cranks suck..nowt wrong with sq taper)

Good to see Croxy out 🙂

Interesting over the top and down less travelled ways off Teggs, almost tempted by the sights and smells to stop off at the Smithy but a tight schedule means no slacking.

By the time we reach the start of chazza it’s touch and go on time so A & B groups to see who is fastest via chazza or via hardingland. nowt in it.

Chez Mawds we are treated to four fine curries, beer on tap, and entertainment in the form of El Pud interviewing Mawds in Desert Island Discs stylee. The Grumpster certainly has kept up with time times musically!

Four exceedingly fine single malts, Danny & Nigella on Youtube , belly laughs make it a night to savour 😉 GIIHH
