I got 3 punctures on Sunday all within the space of around 4 miles. 1st one I thought not too much of as punctures happen. I changed it for a tube that had i'd previously repaired, so was little mindful of that. Little while later another puncture, I still had it in my mind it may have been the repair giving way. Changed this time for a new tube and got back on my way but only to get another. Both times I checked the tyre for embedded bits. Called for support car to pick me up (the mrs). I checked the tubes when I got home. The repaired tube had a hole and was not the previous repair giving way. 2 out of the 3 where almost identical places so maybe I didn't see the bit in the tyre when I checked and 3rd one was in a different area. This was on Continental Grand Prix TT tyres so probably not best tyre to be using for the conditions. I've now ordered a pair of Schwalbe Durano Plus 28c for winter but it's knocked my tyre confidence.
