Cycling top tips. No2.
next time you’re out on your bike take a tin bath and about 4 or 5 gallons of water in plastci containers. In the event of a flat tyre this will help you locate any punctures you may have.

Last Sunday I got up very early. Way too early. Iwas the first person to register at 7.01am. Yes I have learnt my lesson. My preparations started badly I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear.
I cleaned out my Camelbak on the Saturday and left it to dry on the garden bench. My sick cat, who’d been dripping from both ends for days, decided it looked comfy and curled herself up on it for a sleep.
By the time I saw her the tube was ‘kissing’ her business end. I washed that mouthpiece like a man possessed, but everytime I took a slurp on Sunday I got the faint taste of second hand Whiskas.
The ride itself was awesome. Have a look for yourself.
