First commute in for about two weeks, getting over chest infection, and been training, with meetings in town making it difficult to commute to work (feltham) and then back into town (Strand/Soho) for meetings. Plus road bike had 3 punctures in a week (pesky kids on the park cut throw breaking empty bottles on the path), and I'd got fucked off with replacing innertubes. Finally got round to it last night, rode in today, ten minutes out, and get the hiss of doom.
FML.
Swapped it out, realise my tyre may need replacing, though every time I look at it, when I haven't had a puncture, feel like I can get another couple of months out of it.
Rest of the commute, good, strong legs after the enforced rest made me want to ride past work and put a little extra on top...
