April 2, 20179 yr We went riding in the lakes on Saturday and setting off in a monsoon was a little trying we were soaked in the first 300 metres to the windermere ferry . any ways we persevered until my mate had a rock strike which punctured his rear tyre . but after a few reinflations the latex managed to seal and we carried on in the rain . to the top of on e of the best decents ib the lakes Parkamoor . http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa46/amticoman/IMG_0132.jpg the rain was easing a little by now but on the downhill Lukes freewheel stopped working so he had no drive . we were about 10 miles from base . but the rain had stopped and by the time I had switched to turbo mode and with the help of an inner tube we towed him back . it did blow through 40 % of the spare battery I was carrying but saved the day this was the ride we did https://www.strava.com/activities/923486949
