There was nothing especially different about this evening's route - Colston Road, Staverton Bridge and the riverside path were all delightful as usual. The difference came when Paul's new derailleur fell apart on Staverton Green. It was a Charger, the same make that had let Luke Hatherly down on three occasions. Fortunately Paul's mother was able to collect him.

The return was through Landscove, with Simon taking some down the track from Five Lanes.
