I got a puncture.
I wouldn’t usually blog this type of stuff but the thing is, I never get punctures, not like this anyway. Sure I have slow ones where I go to get my bike for work and realise the tyres have no air in them but out on the road, no.
It was only the other day I was talking with pals about how you should never talk about punctures and there we were, talking about punctures. Someone once asked me the question… “Do you get many punctures on that?” the answer to that was “don’t ask me” it would be like asking a car driver “do you have many crashes in that?”
So guys, our payment for talking about them was for me to get one so in future please adhere to the following:
The first and only rule about punctures, never talk about them.

haha…funny that.
rode to worcester and back the other day and gambled on not getting a flat after not finding my pump.
lo and behold, a puncture on the return journey a few miles out of barnt green.
just as i stepped off my bike and appealed to the gods a tri-athelete appears on his tron bike, volunteers a spare tube and a go on his gas pump.
cheers for looking out Mark, saved me from a long slog home…..
