This little patch...

did nothing to help whatsoever!

Up bright and early for a 15 mile time trial on the bike only to find a flat inner tube. After a lengthy battle changing the inner tube for a new one for I went. 2 miles later, same tyre, flat. The 15 mile ride turned into a 2 mile sprint and a 2 mile run home in bare feet with my bike on my back.

When I changed the tube again I found a thorn in the tyre... of course!
Now, thorn removed, new inner tube fitted, the cycle is on for tomorrow!
