Friday, January 23rd: A lo-o-o-ong day, interrupted by an "unplanned tea break" in very windy rain to pull the engine out of the Chummy (yes, the engine). The cause of the problem was the clutch release bearing, which failed, luckily enough, at the entrance to a roadside cafe. Some 3 hours later, we celebrated a successful "transplant" with hot tea and yummy scones and were back on the road to finish the 225 mile day. And the irony? The sun appeared only as we were finally pulling out, thawing most of our frozen bits as we rode on. Diana and River say "Many Thanks" to the "Awesome Austin 7 Pit Crew!" (You know who you are.)
