Puncture, repaired, inflate, undo connecting tube, out comes valve. Screw valve back in, inflate, undo connecting tube, out comes valve. Remember I have a valve key in repair kit, inflate and off I go, telling myself I should Loctite the valve into all the spare tubes I have.

Finally got around to fixing the fixie this weekend. It's been in the shed for a couple of weeks with a flat rear. Jumped on it this morning and took it to work, parked it outside work just to get something before i take it down to the underground car park, that's when i noticed the rear tyre was flat again 
The rear tyre may need replacing. Going to fixed it during lunch and see how it goes.

Short commute for me this morning and maybe the rest of the week.
Hit the 600km cycling target, and now I have another 19km to go to hit the 100km running target.
Looks like the colder temps and the wind is coming back...

Ice bike again, though in hindsight probably didn't need it.

Tough morning after the weekend run, might have to be a recovery week of commuting.
I was surprised to come across icy patches this morning, mostly slushy, but given it had notionally been above zero all night a tad confusing :-)

bit of ice on the busway this morning where the water runs off onto the path (dead man's curve) - had a little wobble there - so extra careful after that

I've been home and switched the ice bike to the Sirrus, any excuse for a ride

Now't wrong with a kip at work, as long as the boss don't catch you!

Rode in, dodging the showers. Also had a client meeting across the other side of Leeds. As I was running late I took the bike; through the centre of Leeds at speed in a suit.

Off work sick. Dosed up on codeine. Flipping bearing is playing up again.

I thought I'd told you to stay off the bike until 'things' had settled down properly!
We were talking about you while at Llandegla and a few of the guys went a bit green

Night of the numpties tonight, not long after I left work I got a close pass into oncoming traffic off a bus driver after he'd blasted his horn at me, driver reported, heading for the Griff island on a 50mph limit dual carriageway I caught sight the weak flash of pedal reflectors, unlit cyclist in front of me, stopped at the lights at the island a cyclist started to cross the road at speed as the lights changed, then nearly crashed the bike trying to stop it. thankfully the rest of the commute was routine.
