Sods law on the punctures at least you managed to get a lift, always happens when you dont carry spare.

Funnily enough, it's usually the reverse for me, if I've got a tube I puncture, if I haven't I don't :roll:
The Schwalbe 'Blizzard' (?) tyres I have fitted to that pair of wheels (green tread!?) are supposed to be puncture resistant :roll: :wink:
Having said that, looking at the amount of cuts in the tread, they've done a good job in the past

I did the same (complete) ride again on Thursday morning & again on Friday morning (& in the late afternoon)
It's a lovely little route once you're past Fairburn, going through Lumby & South Milford on unclassified roads ('C' roads?)
A steady climb up the one hill in the area (by Steeton Hall Gate-house) & over to the single-track lane to Newthorpe.
I got the journey home down to 37minutes yesterday evening :D
(going is roughly 50minutes..... at the moment, until I get fitter & faster)
Plus, inbetween the 2 trips yesterday, I went into Wakefield & bought a pair of running shoes, as SWMBO wants me to go 'pounding the pavements' with her :roll:
They even put me on a treadmill & filmed my feet!!
muddymesser:
