Our first junior ride of the season got off to an excellent start with 10 riders heading out along Colston road. Things went well until Michael's left pedal worked lose and refused to allow itself to be screwed back into the crank! With the damage already done to the threads he rode on with the pedal becoming more angled with every turn of the wheels.

Everyone made good progress, so when we got to Staverton we had time for our customary visit to the island for stone skimming - a new skill for some of the youngsters that will no doubt come in useful to them one day! While returning home past Riverford Michael's pedal came out altogether, so he was forced to limp home with just one pedal - much to the amusement of the rest of the group
