Tell us your absolute worse day on the bike !

[quote="Roy Green"]Well, not really 'worst', but a road race I did in Essex in the 1960s was pretty gruelling. It was over 100 miles, in August, on the hottest day of a very hot summer. Before midway, the roads were molten. Then onwards it was a race of attrition, with the field being whittled down from the sheer exhaustion of ploughing through the rivers of molten tar, I managed to stick (!) it out till the end, getting 6th from, I think 9 finishers. Cleaning my mustard-yellow bike took best part of the ensuing week. My expensive new tubulars were like solid tyres, fit only for the bin. But I still like riding on hot summer days ...
