Today I cycled into Cambridge with Matt, we were both looking for Biking Clothes, me because most of my clothes are really designed for Spring and Autumn use and Matt because he's doing he's CBT in a few weeks time.
The weather was hot with periods of rain which really raised the humidity because the moment the rain hit the roads it's started evaporating off again which made for an uncomfortable ride home.
I also managed to get a puncture just outside Cambridge, isn't it typical that the one trip where I didn't have my tool kit with me was the one I get a puncture on, in last 8 months or so I seem to keep getting punctures because my existing tyres were so worn down.
I keep meaning to get them replaced but kept forgetting to order them on Wiggle, so we walked the last 2 miles or so to Ben Haywards and I brought a set of Marathon Plus with the Kevlar band which should stop most punctures, and a set of Slime filled Inner Tubes so that even if I do get a puncture the inner tube should be self sealing.
I managed to buy myself a set of summer biking gloves with some Carbon Fiber Knuckle Protectors which should be a lot cooler.
Despite the temperature and the rain, it was great ride.
