What was your most mechanically catastrophous ride?!

"Badger eating a pot of hummus" - that's a euphemism, yeah?!?!

I am proud of you both, top riding!

Fizzy poppers

I just did the Paris To Ancaster race which was claimed to be the muddiest ever version of the race. Apart from repeatedly have to clear the drivetrain and wheels of muck, I ended up riding the last 10km with a front break that was on and grinding against me. (Turns out one pad had completely come off and the piston was fully extended). But it was so much fun. And muddy. P.S. loved the skate park dogs.

I had my rear derailleur completely fall apart in the middle of a bog on top of the North Yorkshire moors recently (Also an amazing cycling destination). Left me 5 miles from any road and no phone signal 😑 Should have brought a chain splitter, although the thought of some of those climbs on single speed is nightmare fuel!
