Event: WNL Minchenhampton common
 

7.700km with 280m climb in 0:58:31. Minchinhampton Western night league another must start good fun. Went anti-clockwise around the flat bits first then onto the steep slope before back to the finish. 510 points out of 6 00 quite a few cleared rhys in 52 I think.

17.894km with 100m climb in 0:48:07. Aborted attempt at Hawksbury loop. Don't just put a spare tube down the down tube internal storage space loose. Ended up wrapping itself around crank axel. Heard a squeaking sound initially then realised when cracked stiffened up. There is a small access cover under bottom bracket the cover had come off. Fortunately it's big enough that I could get the tube out through it. Went back looking for the cover but failed to find it.

31.396km with 750m climb in 2:13:07. Over the Long Mind on new Grail. A good bit of messing with fit. Was going to do more but getting late so cut a bit short. Probably need a smaller chainring as failed on the portray climb back up to the Mind.

Guessing time distance climb etc. Phone died just after I got back to van and is not charging in van. Hopefully resorect it.

Up to Church Stretton to visit Andy and take over WNL spreadsheet. Also got new bike. A new Canyon Grail so took it out for a maiden ride. Start from up above all stretton. Up north edge of the Mynd then various tracks and small roads towards the Stiperstones. Eventually down to Bridges. Road to Wentnor and along to the base of the protway. Original plan had been to go on south and do the long steady gravel climb up the Mynd but as already past 3pm went for up the portway. Saddly I need a smaller chainring as the hill defeated me. Stoped when it started raining and had a little rest before some pushing before remount for the top part. Back over Pole bank along the top before dropping back down to the van.

Various stops to mess with position on Bike. Not perfect yet could not adjust saddle tilt and break reach. Should be good next time. Will have to decide what size chainring I need as the 44 on it is too big for me. The electronic shifting was amazingly good and quiet. Have now ordered Mudgaurds and storage stuff as not ready when I ordered the bike. Also will need to check tires, I guess there are tubes in there as there were tubless valves in the box.

6.845km with 213m climb in 0:54:37. Bok training Braise. 6 out on a damp night.
