31st May - 6th June
- Total distance: 101.79mi
- Total elevation: 2,462ft
- Longest ride: 45.43mi
- Time in saddle: 7h 05m
This was supposed to be 65 miles and 1,300ft more, but technical problems (three punctures and a broken tyre lever within 45 miles) put paid to yesterday's 104 mile sportive just shy of the half-way mark. Gutted. Strava's gear list functionality tells me the tyre that fell prone to all three punctures (a Fusion 5 Kevlar Pro Tech on the front wheel) has done 1,428.5 miles, so I'm hoping that's the problem. I'll be putting some Continental Gatorskins on this week, front and back; I had hoped to save them until nearer LEJOG but I can't be doing with three punctures every weekend....
