Not a Bike Trip

The best laid plans ….
We nipped down to test the brakes on our bikes before heading out for a neighbourhood cycle only to find my front tyre was a bit flat. Pumped it up again and Whoosh! all the air came out the valve which even to someone with zero bike knowledge is a bit of a red flag. A quick online search, another pump-up, another online search and the conclusion reached that the valve is buggered. And it’s Sunday so not a cycle shop open anywhere. So much for the bike trip!
Plan B then which involved a lot less energy but a fine batch of plum cookies. All those years of disaster recovery training finally paid off.
Our evening plans went without a hitch though as we met up with S’s brother in the local beergarden before it got cool and we headed inside for dinner. Lots of beer, wine, food, chat and a bit of exercise for me when I found they were cash only and had to hot-foot it to the nearest cash machine. So not without a hitch then.
