L has her second swim of the festive season, or 2 of 12 as
it’s known. I bring my planned cycle forward from Thursday because of the predicted
60 mph winds due then. I’m taking a bit of a leap of faith in expecting the weather forecast
to be correct but you never know. Tonight’s swim, or 1 of 1 as it’s known, can
be done later in the week.
I ask L when she’ll be embarking on the '12 Cycles of
Christmas'. I’ve now done 1 of 12 or maybe it’s 2 of 12 as I'm not sure if
there and back counts as one or two. Although actually it’s only one and a half
as I had a puncture coming through the suspension test track in Stapleford, it’s
actually the main road but you get the gist.
My rear tyre is so thin that it offers little
protection against such terrain. I opt to limp the bike home, with a mix of walking
and gentle riding, rather than change the tube because then I’d simply ride on it
again as it is next time. Whereas what I really need to do is to swap the whole
rear wheel for the one I took off my best bike and also to put a brand new tyre on it, which
I also have.
This I do when I get home.
