A game of patience, and pleading.

Finally made it home with the last few ditch efforts of the free hub seeing me through. Sketchy moment uphill on a big junction when it decided to go completely as the lights changed and I had to jump off and run.

Hope everyone out in the forest is enjoying it - see you next week!

Such a shame James, especially so close to the start. Unfortunately Shimano hubs and freewheel are an accident waiting to happen.

If you want any help to get it sorted, post up and I'm sure someone will come to your aid.

I have a spare hope hub and wheel all built up, if you need it.

This should cheer you up James - a nice vid from Innerleithen:
