Be the first! 
Starting at Haworth, then moving down Walshaw following the bridleway back to Haworth just clocking up over 12 miles. To be honest I do think we went around the wrong way.
And as you may guess i have yet again damaged my bike. I really don’t know how I do it. This time been the rim on the back wheel. To top it off i went over the handle bars twice and not been used to my new pedals i was unable to unclip.
Below you can see the google map of the route we took using the I-Gotu device. Sorry people but the last part looks to be missing as I some how turned it off.
Some of you may question the speed chart and i said, we should of gone the other way and some of it was un-ridable
12.33 mi (5.58 mi uphill, 5.35 mi downhill, 1.35 mi flat)
2145 ft total ascent (2007 ft descent) - 9.6 % uphill grade, 7.8 % downhill grade
3:52:44 total time (3:03:31 moving, 0:49:13 stopped)
0:14:53 pace (4.0 mph average speed, 28.2 mph max speed)

Got my back yesterday. Rear tire replaced and middle chain ring replaced along with all my bearings greased, gears nicely indexed, two new spokes, brakes bled and wheels re-trued.
Fitted my new pedals when I got home, first thing I did. There are a little harder to clip out of then my last pair, but am sure with enough time there will loosen up, and before any one asks I have changed tension screw as far as it will go.
But over all the bikes running nicely now lets see how long it lasts till I break something again,
Definitely looking forward to getting back on the trails.

As I mentioned in my previous post I managed to break my old pedals (Shimano M520). Today was the day I found time to drop my bike off to the shop, to get fixed plus a full service (inc getting my wheels re-trued.)
While I was there I decided to get a replacement set of Shimano M545. At first glance there do feel a dam site heaver then the M520’s but do look and feel a lot more solid. When I get my bike back which should be some time next week, I will try out the pedals and give you my thoughts on them.
