Another glorious day and I had all intentions of getting a nice ride in. Had a leisurely day with BF first, though: fry-up for breakfast, then wandered into town for an ice cream (Thornton's Mmmmmmm!!!) and to watch the bagpipe-band-competition going on in the park. My ears are still ringing! Then wandered home to get ready for a ride. I get all kitted up and take the bike outside. Get the pump to top up the front tire after fixing a flat on Friday (which happened just as I was heading in to work and made me an hour late for work) and the tire goes flat again. Inner tube had torn right at the valve. So no bike ride today and tomorrow I have to go out to the LBS again (second time this week!) to get another tube (and pick up a spare one this time). Very frustrating, but at least it happened today and not next week-end when I'm doing my big 40 mile charity ride. And to cheer myself up, I'm having a very Norwegian dinner tonight. Smoked cod with eggy butter and boiled potatoes. Mmmmmm!!!!!!
