W24R1 - snuck in a half hour when it wasn't raining or I wasn't waiting for a parcel. Parcel arrived and contained some camera bits, including the chest mount that I took out to test. Pushed harder (avg 97w) than yesterday though the heart rate doesn't suggest it - managed to creep into the top 10 on one of the sections

W24R2 - Out into the hills north an east of Barrowford, popped into the Clarion briefly but there were a few too many bodies per square inch so kept high and headed out toward the Ribble Valley then back again

Decided to commute by bicycle - and punctured for the first time in over 20 years - just a couple of miles from home too!
Took the front wheel off, got the tyre levers spares tube and pump out, eventually broke the bead around one side, got two levers in....and phoned for a pick up.
