Puncture fixed, and the realisation that my tyre is wearing a bit thin! Time to blow the moths out of the wallet.
I don't think today is a cycling day all the same. Too much of an ice risk at this point. Christmas evening was fine as the roads were dry, yesterday was mostly okay but caution was needed in places. It hasn't stopped freezing at all today. It can only be worse. I don't need any more broken legs, thank you very much. There will be warmer days.
