Yes, good point.Ray P wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 6:51 pm Regarding potholes, you need to think about where the tubeless thing started - downhill mountain biking - where pinch punctures in inner tubes were a problem with the rough surface. My other road bike has wheels that can take tubeless tyres so I'm thinking of switching over that one too.

I'll be heading out in about an hour. It looks like the wind is going to be a bit easier today but we currently have light rain, though it should clear and brighten by mid-morning.

No rain issues here, just done another 20m along the Rhine cycle tracks today.
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Top work, Ray !
You must have dodged the rain rather skillfully, there looked to be plenty around Bristol at 10:45 am.
What was the route, roughly speaking ?
Did you see a 'pile of dirt' anywhere ?

Excellent riding that man!
I can't ride at the moment, having fallen in the rain & dark down a set of brick steps into the cellar under my workshop...
Massive haematoma on my right glutus maximus (buttock) - jet black and size of grapefruit. Bruising & grazing on back & right arm too... bruising now working its way down my right leg...
Stupid really - I feel a right arse (SWIDT). Will try to play tennis on Wednesday and see how it goes... (currently going a nice deep yellow which looks good against the black).
Lucky I didn't slap my head or any vertebrae. Pelvis also fine. It really really hurt - lay in the cellar for a few minutes checking myself over thinking "stupid idiot"!

Whoa, not nice Nick, you got off lighty by the sound of it! We all get more fragile as we age - I had a seemingly innocuous slip and ended up with three expensive screws in my hip! As they said when I arrived in hospital, it's not the fall that does the damage, it's the landing.
Take care and hope you feel improvement soon.

Not nice at all Nick, but its always interesting watching the couloir changes as the bruises come out!
Too right. Yesterday we took son and grandson for a trip up the estuary. After mooting up the Pilot, I had to row back to the dinghy’s mooring four-up against the outgoing spring tide. Only about 300 yards and normally I wouldn’t think twice about it. Today, I’m having difficulty standing up without severe protest from the lumbar regions.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Thanks guys. Luckily (?) it was my feet that shot out from under me so I fell backwards, not face first. Somehow, instinctively, managed to get my head forward so it didn't smack on the back as I went down...
The old Victorian bricks are a bit mossy and had turned evil with the rain. I should have been a bit more careful as I knew that they weren't great - no excuses really. 100kg coming down at speed on my right hip & back meeting with the edges of the steps.
Knocked the wind out of me and frankly was a bit shocked.
The important things are all ok though
I can still solder and use an oscilloscope...

Back in the saddle today after a couple of rest days - felt good and chuffed with my effort - 40seconds of my previous best time on the route.
