28th April 2013 Puncture Peril

Bad day today. I did not intend doing a great many miles today as a long one is scheduled for tomorrow. A nice easy 10 miler, mainly on the flat, would be ideal. Not a bad morning weatherwise, a bit of a chill wind perhaps, but not a problem.
The problem came after 1.1 miles! A puncture in the front wheel. Looking at the spare inner tube, it had about 4 patches on it already so thought it best to leave it for the day. Rode home for a magnificent 2.2 miles to add to my total!
To be on the safe side, went out later and bought a new tube to put in my emergency pack.
