Today’s ride started fine but turned out to be a bit of a disaster. Ash’s tyre was flat at the start and would not respond to pumping. We took the steep track to Five Lanes from Dart Bridge and Michael attempted a repair part-way up. Unfortunately there was no hole, so the problem was in the valve. When pumping it again at the top of the track the valve burst open rendering the tube useless, and on this particular occasion nobody had a spare tube!

Michael called Gavin for car assistance and we met him on the way down Green Lane. We all went home and enjoyed a computer games social where Call of Duty 4 was the game of choice.
