A Group chain knotting division - part 2

Twelve set off for the hills around Bolton and Horwich but only 9 made it. DNA Dave and then shortly afterwards, Gemma both decided their legs weren't up for it on the day and headed off on their own.

Before much longer, just as we got to Aspull, an impromptu meeting of the chain knotting group, reduced us to 9. After Chris Garmans intricate chain knot last week, Paul Bolton decided to give it a go. Avoiding a pothole, 'where did we find a pothole' I can hear you ask, given the fabulous state of our roads! Paul ran a bit wide and touched bikes with Brian and it was like either , the scene in Ben Hur with the spikes on the chariot wheels or James Bond and the DB5 with the spikes in the wheels. Pauls rear mech got caught up on Brians quick release lever, it looked like they might both end up on the floor, fortunately they didn't. What did happen was that Pauls rear mech went BANG and he had to call for the sag wagon to pick him up and take him home. Chain and mech in a very intricate knot, including a couple of spokes.

The rest of the ride was uneventful, Barrow Bridge and Sheephouses, we gave Anglezarke a miss as we were running late.

Just the one complaint from me though......why do my tartan slippers seem to be slower than Brians tartan slippers?
