PhilDAS-
@PhilDAS I try to think positively; it was a rear flat, and I didn’t get thrown off. No harm done to anything but my wallet. And yet. Fuuuuuucking hell, what does an uneventful day feel like?
@Airhead totally would have, especially with rim-locked tyres, but 30 miles from home was a bit much. About 5 miles away was my grandma’s, her neighbour is a biker and I bet he’d have had a spare 18” on the shelf but I didn’t want to risk owing him a favour.
My instructor did me a solid and came to collect me and the bike. I paid him some cash but it was still much less than it should have been for immediate call-out and rescue.

One stretch of the Fosse Way and now I’m waiting to pay a recovery van, as I have no tools or tubes with me.
