Went out for a swift tea time ride with Fast Eddy.

Did a few of the normal swift descents, just after doing the VERY quick descent from the top of Acabusie Hill, I turned rather sharply and heard a rather nasty crack, and suddenly fell to the floor "!!

The magnesium lower on my carbon stanchion had sheared off !!!

Would of been super ugly if it would of done it 30 seconds earlier. Checked my speedo and we were doing 24 mph!!

On the positive side, timing was spot on.............as one bike breaks, another is painted, built and ready to ride.
