Front end pinch flat on the medium/fast group to Waterfall on Sunday

Hit a rut in the road near Dolls Point on the way out. At least the only thing to break was the tube.

Thanks to all that waited while I changed the tube

1 point

Latest weather forecast for Sunday

Latest weather forecast for Sunday

Thunderstorms
H 25 deg
L 23 deg
Wind 18km/h N @ 9am
Rain probability 90% (20-40mm)

For a Belgian cyclist this would be near perfect.
And we don't even have to worry about cobblestones
