Get kids ready for school, pack work clothes, get everyone out of the house. Get bike out of shed. Find flat back tyre. Pump tyre up in the hope it was just a loose valve. Listen to air whoosh out of tyre. Calculate chances of fixing tyre and getting kids to school on time. Arrive at an answer of nil. Go back in house and get changed out of cycling gear. Leave house again - now spectacularly late. Run to school with kids. Sweat. Get series of busses and trains to work. Arrive more spectacularly late. Realise have forgotten vital work pass leading to massive access problems. Sulk.
I was looking forward to this morning's ride in as well.
