Also since I took this pic I've added a dedicated girls's saddle that I acquired by way of one among my favourite bike business reps and Cheapest Vapes ex-Wholly Bagels teammate, Vape Supplier Nicola Johnson. Feeling strangely weak with none spares, I decided the most effective course of action was naturally to head up to my favorite LBS, Vape Outlet Revolution Bicycles in Northland, to grab a spare tube and proceed my "coaching". I parked my bike oh so casually and took full advantage of Jonty's habitual form hospitality, as he plied me with a cup of fresh sizzling espresso and a gratis spare tube.
After realising I'd used up the last of my puncture kit final week I fitted my only replacement tube - observe makes excellent, as it was sorted lots quicker than last time. After seven consecutive days of riding I assumed it would be finest to take a few days off, so last Sunday was spent relaxing with the family and taking a lovely walk in Wellington's beautiful Mechanical Gardens (Kester's pre-school name for the Botanical Gardens). Dave may be very kindly lending his Cervelo R3 to a overseas international rider (whose name I'm not but at liberty to disclose) who's spending some time in New Zealand as a part of their preparation for the World Championship time trial.
In what I laughingly consult with as my thoughts I've gained World Championships, Cheapest Vape Juices Tours, Giri, and all the 5 Monuments of Cycling, to name just some of my numerous different exhausting-fought digital victories. The unscheduled halt had seemingly blown my race to bits, but I'm no quitter - you don't get to not win as many races as I have not won by being comfortable. To whit, Vape Store I dressed for Vape Store what appeared to be looming Belgian Hardman conditions and set off on my journey feeling nice and totally charged to get some moiles in.
Yet, regardless of doing my best to set my bike up with "coaching" wheels/tyres, virtually the minute I set out I received a pinch-flat on some left-over rubble from the lame coarse chip the council strews all over the place.
