    Like so many people, I rediscovered cycling during lockdown a couple of years ago but even if I hadn’t I don’t think I’d have struggled with this one. The theme clue didn’t do much to disguise matters and as soon as I found CHAIN I was freewheeling towards the finish line. There were no bumps in the road to worry about and I solved the whole thing in about five minutes flat.

    How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
