did a 70 mile club ride with a cafe stop half way.
We were plagued by punctures. There was a group of 12 of us, we had 1 puncture on the way out which was ok. However on the way back we had 2 in quick succession, the 2nd broke the valve so had to repair it again. The ride slowly deteriorated as someone snapped a spoke and after another puncture a group of 4 left as they needed to get back home.
We then passed one of the guys who went ahead who had another puncture. He was happy for us to carry on without him as we were close to home by this point. Pretty soon after this I managed to snap my right shifter and was stuck in a big gear for the remaining 6ish miles.
Got home, garmin had fucked up the ride, deleting the first half.
On the plus, the company was good and I got a decent length ride in for the first time this month.
