Trip home last night was fine, but when I went out to the garage this morning I noticed I had a flat rear tyre (the one with the Slime tape in). I hesitated as I couldn't really face starting the day by changing the tube and thought about taking the bus, but then remembered my other bike on the trainer and swapped over the back wheel. The gearing was different but it got me here.
Not a breath of wind, light drizzle, but a superb ride in.
Now if I can just get home without a puncture.
2 Punctures so far this year.
