Woo Hoo - what a trip! 

Eventful ride home from Dover - caught in aseries of huge thunderstorms we got totally soaked and sought shelter overnight in a hotel , then all dried out we set off in the morning only for my rear wheel bearing to collapse 30 or so miles up the road.

The RAC did a fab job though - took the wheel off, sourced a bike shop with the right bearings in stock, drove me there, helped the guy in the shop get the utterly fucked bearing out, new bearings fitted, drove me back to the bike and refitted the wheel, andfinally we could ride home. 

Only got back 20 or so hours later than planned, but hey, just makes for a more interesting tale :-)                                                                                                                                                                              

Well everyone home now safe and I have uploaded a pile of pics.
