Gears no longer functioning properly. Grr! Struggling along in 5th thinking am in 4th etc. Called in to Woodson's Raleigh shop in Edgeley. Chain gauge pronounces everything is worn out. More or less. Hardly surprising. Me and Betty have done upwards of 3,000 miles this year, along towpaths, canalways, muddy tracks and side roads, oh and a few pavements.

It was like leaving a cat with the vet. Left her there, all worn and torn. Picked her up later that day. She has shiny cogs and a new derailleur and her chain is all sparkly and clean and metallic looking. Cycled her to the car. It was like having a new bike.

Right, Bets, let's go again! Onward and upward!
