Not the day I had planned.
Today I will be cycling 20 miles to Carlisle with my faulty bike and then catching a train to Edinburgh, which is the nearest place north of here that has a bike shop that can diagnose the problem on the bike.
The earliest they can do so is Friday (after much arm twisting – originally it was a 2 week waiting period).
I will keep you posted on what happens next but as it stands the two options are:
- The bike is fixed on Friday morning and I carry on 👍
- The bike can’t be fixed in time (e.g. needs a part which is not in stock) and I have to abandon the ride and take the train back home 👎
I have completed 590 miles since Land’s End and have about 430 miles to John O’Groats, so well over half way. It will be such a shame if I’m not able to complete it.
I’ve arrived in Edinburgh. For those of a rugby persuasion, I’m staying across the road from here:
CPU cooling with Irn-Bru.
