Chain Hill proved to be a very hard climb A very nice ride through the Ilsleys & up into Stanmore. Nick suffered a mechanical between Lilley & Chain Hill, resulting in his chain getting jammed between the smaller ring & the frame, but by using a stick he managed to unjam his chain. My strava recorded that our elevation gain was 1,873ft! Well done to everyone & thank you for all being an easy group to lead
