Another great weather day so I decided to do another 38km loop. About 6km in I feel a wobble and notice the rear tire is making a strange sound. My heart sinks as a realize I'm getting a rear tire flat. GROAN! And my portable repair kit is still in a box somewhere
![]() Luckily, I was a 5 min walk from the nearest bike shop. I had them change both the front and back tubes from regular ones to thorn resistant tubes along with a new tire. An hour later (it was busy and they were short handed) and a cold coffee later I was blissfully back on the trail. I ended up biking home in the dark but i had recently purchased a Blackburn high grade light. It worked perfectly. Now to do some work (aka reading)
