The beautiful autumnal colours of the leaves and fields are a sight to behold as the mist lifts and the roads open up.
The pheasants flit from field to field and the idyllic landscape is blighted only by the site of two lycra-clad fools attempting to repair a puncture which was caused by the catastrophic failure of a "Halfords special" tyre.
Rule 1 - don't buy cheap gear
Rule 2 - don't put the tube you've taken out back in to said tyre (as it won't inflate if there's still a big hole in it)
Rule 3 - see Rule 2 prior to using up a CO2 cartridge for no apparent gain
Rule 4 - always have a crafty look at your mate's bike to avoid Rule 1 coming in to play
The advantage of a truncated ride is more tea and biscuit scoffing at the end.
