Doing a P.M on yesterdays ride, which I aborted far too early and I am trying to eliminate or pin point the causes.
First thing comes to mind:
1) Hill fitness Yes three reasonable hills in ten miles may have taken their Toll Yes needs working on.
2) Attitude Yes I did think about this ride far too much before hand and was too keen on checking the weather.
2a) Disappointment at learning that Carlisle has re-elected a party "yes" man.
Then I come to another thing and this may have been dealt with before on these pages:
3) I use Schwalbe touring tyres and after a couple of punctures due to thorns on the road, I had Slime inserted in to the tubes. The tyres are fully inflated but from the time the slime was putt in I felt a drag with them. Is this just me.
Has any body else had a "slowing" experience with slime inserted in tyres?
