*** Bad timing on that ride! Sunny conditions disappeared while I prepared for my ride. I went out under threatening clouds which dumped large volumes of chilly rain on me shortly afterwards! I kept thinking that I desperately did NOT want to have to fix a puncture out in that. Well, it turned out that I DID puncture my front tube, but it was slow enough to hold pressure to get me home. I noticed this morning that ths tyre was flat so today's ride was done on my best bike. The culprit was a tiny sliver of glass in the tyre, which was very hard to find.
