Watch your back Clive!!
Baz has cramp (or so he says!)
Attenshun!!
Back to 5.30am starts with Baz back from his holiday, so we set off from the bottom car park after the usual visit to the loos! I was outvoted today as to the route we'd do so we ended up doing the full Black which involves the notorious 2 mile climb known as Redemption back up to the hut in the picture where the weary legs can take a welcome break. Today's mishaps were a puncture for Clive on the climb back to the Buzzard car park and a touch of cramp for Baz which he was mercilessly baited about, (he is the youngest after all!).
Baz's brakes started playing up towards the end of the run but a quick bleed of the system when we got home appears to have sorted out that problem. How the hell air manages to find its way into a closed hydraulic system is beyond me, perhaps someone can explain...............

I have heard tell that the little pixies come in your bikeshed at night with a tiny little footpump to fill your brakelines with air for fun. In my own experience i have found that quite often if you leave your bike for 24 hours with the lever ziptied so the brakes are full on the air will find its own way to the reservoir. Unless of course its not the pixies and youve got a leak in the system somewhere!
It may have something to do with the time our bikes spend upside down after a crash (or technical dismount as we like to call it)!
