Unplanned entry today. Took my car to a trusted mechanic thinking it would be there for a couple of hours and then I would drive it back. Threw the CX in the back so I could have a ride as they fettled the car. Long story short, I ended up having to ride home - without my cycling shoes. After just shy of 8 miles I spotted Shaw & Crompton Cycles down a side street. Steve sorted me with a set of second flats and I put the mtb pedals in the tail pack and proceeded more comfortably.
Only had a porridge bar and 750ml of water with me & I hadn't had any brekkie and nothing to make the bike secure if I wanted to stop at a shop. Was hoping for a butty van at some stage but there was none.
Had half my bar at Warland Upper Lock. By Tod my legs and lungs were fine but I was running out of energy. Ate the other half in Cornholme and dribbled on at more or less the same speed though it took more will power to maintain it. Closest I have been to bonking - bit annoyed with myself too. Ho-hum, still made it though.

You should have given me a ring - I have an emergency stash of Aldi maple syrup cereal bars which I would have brought down to you!
