I did not really want to go on a long cycle and i did not want to go up the mountains so i kept it to along by the Canal and then back by Lucan and then by the Liffey . But I did not allow for a puncture just before I came to Collins Bridge . So my language was choice . This was through the tyre I had just spent my €45 on about 2 or 3 days ago , being promised that it was very hard to puncture. Never believe what you are told. I did not want to go on a big cycle that day as I was very tired and worried as the day before I had been told that my Bakers cyst was OK but more importantly I am still waiting for next week. I did not even do more than 40KM but as I said I was not doing much , and also itwas roasting for Sept 8th, even up in the mid 20's.
