Perfect weather and really enjoying my ride over Worlds end near Llangollen and pop....I was too busy looking around at the scenery and went through a pile of large stones and got a snake bite P******* in the back wheel.

No worries I thought and soon had it mended. Carried on my route, the bit I was looking forward to, all downhill for about 2miles. only got 200yards down the hill and pop went the front wheel.

Well I rushed the patch and eager to enjoy the hill I bodged it, it didn't take , bugger I had no more co2.
Had to call the grumpy emergency services, otherwise known as Sue ;)

Wouldn't mind but the kids bought me a topeak pump for Fathersday, but I was too lazy to fit it.

Went and bought four new tubes, so after a tinker in the morning I'm off up that hill again :smile:

I've just been given a damaged iphone and use it as a camera, I quite like it!

On most of my rides I take a compact camera and my big camera too as a photographer I love being out there and taking photos, your photos are great,

Snake bit normally occurs when the tyre pressure is too low.

Great area by the way I was there last week and took the train ride on Sunday.

It was over 100psi, but the stones were like scree in the middle of the single track lane, totally my fault for not paying attention. The pumps fitted now and have two tubes in my saddle bag :smile:
