Mixed bike ride

Well my bike officially sucks. Before I could cycle today I fixed a puncture on the front and back tyres of the bike and then headed out. I was flying due to my recent good news. I was actually shooting up 88th and 18.5 mph! I have never gone that fast up the hill. I was really hoping to do an average of at least 17mph and then disaster another flat. So I clicked lap to see just how fast I could change the Tyre. I got it all sorted out and started filling the Tyre and boom my inflater broke. I was able to get some air in, enough to ride at 10mph. Then start hobbling home.

Its really cool the physics of a CO2 canister emptying. This one went from warm to sticky ice cold!

The rescue team was on the case. I had limped back about 2 miles before the car came into range and as a stroke of genius they brought a pump. So I didn't have to get carried home. I cruised home with grand plans of a cycle tonight and a run. However it turned out I had to work.

So 6 flats and one torn gear cable in 2 weeks! I'm getting a tad bit scunnered at the bike. However I'm in the event and that's all that matters!
