Ride 17/02/2019

So no cycling last Sunday and yesterday thanks to the snow but I was able to get out today but that didn’t last long. I started out with the group up to Stirling but they were going to Doune today which was too far for me at their speed, so I decided I would peel off at Stirling and head back home via Alloa. This all feel to pieces by the time I hit Clackmannan where I got a puncture Unfortunately for me the new wheels I got for my bike in Jan are tubeless and I’m riding with tubes which made changing the tire and tube impossible. After an hour of trying to fix the puncture which resulted in 3 more punctures trying to get the tire back on I gave up in despair and called mum to come and pick me up and take me home. So I’m selling the new wheels and buying some more new clincher (tube) wheels in the hope I never have to go through that again. On the 8 years that I’ve been cycling I’ve never had to call someone to rescue me >:-( not a happy bunny and I only got 35 miles of the 50 miles that I wanted to do!
