Re: Sunday 4th november ride

[ValleyMan]

Falling on my sword (tire lever) for the greater good of the Club ride proved to be a wise choice.

After a gentle stroll home (could not go any faster in my cleats) and nice hot cup of tea, Kim arrived back an hour later soaked to the skin an unable to speak coherently through chattering teeth.

For the record, the first puncture change was completed in a fraction of the time usually taken by some others amongst us (you know who you are…), it was just my misfortune to replace the tube with one that had already been punctured and mixed up with serviceable ones. I should have spotted the error as it was not covered in repair patches.

Anyway lesson learnt and soaking avoided.
