Although I recommend this part of the Ridgeway, I actually fell off my bike a second time, due to the rain on the chalk. At the time I had a fully loaded bike so rather heavy but never experienced wet chalk until now. The first time was pretty painful as landed on my hip and back, the second fall just enhanced my bruises ;)

I would do it again but without the full load, though I would also recommend to do the chalk areas when it's not raining.
