Five hours free before school pick up, calm breeze, no rain due so headed for Rivington with the scout. After a bit of an explore on what turned out to be a footpath, honestly I didn't know, I headed over towards great hill, just a couple of pedal strokes from the summit at around this point;
When this happened.
It was a bit muddy so when I experienced what felt like a bit of foot slippage I didn't think too much until I got my foot back where it should be and it felt mightily strange under foot.
I was just riding on the axle, the pedal itself and slid off when I thought my foot had lost grip, I found it a bit down the trail. Basically the axle was totally stripped so I couldn't refit it, I tried to carry on but it was in vain, every pedal around pushed it a little closer to coming off. So I had to give up and ride back to the car, fortunately it was down hill all the way.
Day off practically wasted. Don't know if I'm more fed up at that or with a set of mag pedals being most likely written off now. I only fitted them in may so I will get onto superstar for a refurb or at least replacement axles.
