Guest Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Heading out for circa 60 miles at a steady to just above steady but just below brisk pace. Anyone fancy joining me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 So I'm typing this while sat in a Kilmalcolm cafe, waiting for my wife to pick me up. Left home 3 hours ago & got a puncture within a mile. No probs. changed tube & set off again. Was heading down clune, doing about 40 when a total balloon pulls out from the short cut, leaving only a couple of feet between me & the kerb. I jammed on brakes to the extent my back wheel was fishtailing all over the place. Left with nowhere to go I had to bunny hop onto pavement then jump back off to avoid a pram. Don't have a clue how I stayed upright. Somewhat shaken but decided to press on. Headed up Whynn at my usual snails pace, 2nd puncture at top. "my word" I exclaimed. Changed tube again & kept going then got 3rd puncture ( rear wheel this time) So now had to hoof it approx 4 miles to the coffee shop in Kilmacolm. A bit fed up but I'm just wanting home for dinner & a turbo session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
