Miles Ridden: 10
Well, the good news is i rode 8.5 miles today without a puncture on my road bike. The bad, I got a puncture at 8.5 miles from one of the potholes that seem to be dotted about everywhere. I also had another flat tyre before i started. So that it total bearing in mind that i fixed the puncture by the road, on my own for the first time means i have thus far cycled around 22 miles and had 5 puntures, so one every 4 or so miles. That means that I can expect to get about 250 on my jaunt from John O'Groats to Lands End.
Things had started off promisingly enough. I'd put my new tyres on and pumped them up using there amazing CO2 canisters. they just make your tyre rock hard in a few seconds. I even fitted my new bike bag so now I have somewhere to store all my new gadgets. Anyway I guess puntures are all part of the fun and i'll get the better of them in the end. At least I feel i'm moving forward. I even started plotting my route on an old road atlas.
