My March Rides (Week 7)

Monday 15/3/2010 - Bike

Lovely and bright day. Lots of cyclists about this morning. Strong head wind hopefully it will be behind me tonight. Computer didn't kick in for the first mile.

Another puncture on the way home - back wheel. Surrey Rd just about the half way point. Not a bike shop within miles so had to fix it there and then. Took me about an hour. Only had the little mini pump with me which was really fiddly. Another cyclist stopped and helped which was really kind. He managed to use the pump much better than me. A householder came out and gave me a big battery flash light which really helped. The puncture was on the same spot as Friday's one so Halfords will be receiving a further visit for a refund of my money. This is the second time I have had a puncture fixed professionally and they have failed to find the offending foreign object. Got home at 19:30. Usual look of disbelief from my wife.
