Rode this morning and at one point I stopped to see if I had a puncture. It was on back roads but when I stopped- My feet started sinking. The road surface was breaking up and it was just like riding on gravel.

And Puddles in the road. Bit muddy round here and you can't see if it is just a surface puddle or a pothole.

But Paris Roubaix- One of my mates is doing the "French" Etape of it. He is trying to find a wheel that is going to stand up so I think I have just sold my old Tandem wheels. Rhino lite rims with XT tandem hubs and 40 spokes. He has wrecked his Hand builts riding the flatter offroad trails round here. And he has broken his old steel frame that he was going to do it on so is building up a cross bike based on a 29 mtb.
