julietMile 50: The Juliet guide to hills:
a) change down early
b) the very bottom gear is there for a reason
c) do not under any circumstances have yr chain fall off halfway up one
d) especially if it then gets stuck really very hard between gear wheels & bracket.
Thankfully crisis was resolved with the aid of some v nice chaps who held the torch for me & helped me yank it out (took a lot of yanking). This now means that until I get a chance to look at it properly (10miles time) I don't want to use the bottom set of gears at all, so hills are a little tougher. Other than tha though, all is going OK. 10miles to food! Av 13.3mph
