Totally Deflated

At least my rear tyre was this morning after about 8 miles.  Then had that decision to make.  Do I do the right thing, change it and cycle home, or do I thank my good fortune in having opted for SPD shoes and pedals and push the bike the last half mile?  Don't need that on a work morning when everything is timed so precisely.

I pushed.

Then got scuppered by ridiculous traffic coming to the office.

And, it was flippin' cold out there this morning.  Winter is a coming, my poor little skinny thighs were all goose-pimpled and my fingers cold even through the gloves.  If only I'd bought the bib-tights for myself instead of giving them to Julie to give to me for my birthday.  Not sure I can wait till the end of October to have warm legs.

Still, I've got the tyre change to look forward to tonight.  I'm so inept, I reckon I could sell tickets!  back to the "how-to" You-Tube videos!
