Bike Woes

Woke up early so planned to have an early bike ride so that I could tackle some chores. Found my rear tyre as flat as a pancake! Decided to borrow Stephen's bike to save time. Enjoyed the ride but it was a stretch as he is six feet tall and I am just under five three. Whilst the saddle was lowered I had to ride most of the time on the top of the bars as riding on the hoods felt I was reaching too far.

Although the roads were relatively dry tractors had spread a lot of mud on the surface. Consequently the bike needed a clean.

Repaired my tyre finding a thorn which felt like a nail right through the tyre. Pliers removed it with a bit of effort. However when putting it away it was flat again!

So further investigations are required but that will have to wait for another day.
