Probably 2000. The first set I had did 6000 miles without a puncture and one is still used on the 'other bike'
Tales from today's commute....

Hit quite a big stone last night and pinch punctured. Annoyingly, the spare tube I had must have had two holes as when I pumped it up, it didn't! I then had to patch the tube by the side of the road. Started to get cold as I had not shaken off a chesty cold.
This morning was much better - strong cross winds, but mild.
If the wind changes direction to a S Westerly and the heavy rain comes, I'll bail at Alderley Edge later!

Not too far from Alderley. Knew he lived around here somewhere just not where until the penny dropped this morning with all the paparazzi.

Morning commute in is generally heading W-SW, so I'll often pick up a headwind, but this morning was something else. Several times the gusts almost stopped me in my tracks, pretty scary when there's a bus on your back wheel.
Knocked a good 3mph off my usual speed, but was good for getting the legs spinning. Looking at the forecast for this evening I should be in for a quick ride home. About time I got a good tailwind for a change!

Show yourself that you have manned up by continuing to do it...day in...day out... Don't worry about going to bed early, it means you can get up earlier to get some extra miles in

When I first started the longer commutes I would fall asleep straight after my tea, now I manage to stay up till 9pm
