    Every time I hear "my derailleur battery's run out" or "my Di2's stopped working", or words to that effect, I'm reminded of the film 'Local Hero',....and I smile. If you know, you know😉.

    I was cycling through the night in that cold - I did a 300km audax loop instead of the DR this year and just up the road from Kielder across in the Scottish Borders the temperature dropped down to -8C it was perishing - luckily I was prepared for some of the coldest weather ever had the pleasure of cycling in. Two weeks earlier I was cycling across the canaries at GranGuanche so it was a bit of a shock to the system. Vlog starts this evening 7.45 ;-)
