It's all over folks.
That's it, it's gone. History. No more. My run is at an end.
This morning I picked up my first flat tyre in 15,773km.
Now I have to go right back to the start.

Geax Evolution 26x1.9". My tyres see a bit of dirt, not to mention the goat tracks that pass for "roads" in Queensland.

Refresh our memories: didn't you just recently mention something about not having flats in a long time?

Isn't this one of events listed in Revelations as a sign of the coming Apocalypse?

The irony will be that you'll get 3 more flats over the next 2 weeks then not another for the next 7 years.

You have jinxed me also. I broke my back axle yesterday. The wheel held on with the quick release arrangement till I went climbing a hill. The f**cing wheel jammed against the fork. Good trick that to practice stands. Pedalling a granny gear and running beside the bike is tiring.
Then I couldn't get a replacement. I ended up getting a new wheel.
I'm very sorry to hear about your camera. Hopefully you can get it replaced so that we can be regaled with some more of your fabulous shots of your back garden

I'm curious, man - what camera did you break?
