Wednesday 24th July Ray Skeltons 60th Birthday a true athlete and valuable member of many of our Tours. We were all stirring in our beds, Ray would have been doing star jumps or some yoga pose, but as laid back athletes, we just laid about knacked! The owner knocked on the door to say breakfast was ready. We had to go over to the annex, though, Linney impressed with the ceiling detail again he is getting right into his architecture, then once again impressed with the breakfast fried eggs * 3, home bread and biscuits and char all good.
We set off about 08:15 with cloudy skies, as it is Rays birthday Keith did the weather report, sorry Ray not raining, but overcast until the afternoon. We soon made are way out of the small town into a bit of a head wind, with the knowledge that there is not a lot going on this road today, just a matter of riding through the head wind, easy really better than working for a living.
After a couple of hours of riding we did spot a small truck stop were we managed to get a coffee and replenish are water supply. There was another stop about an hors ride away, that’s were we planned to have our lunch stop, so on we went into the head wind again, getting used to these Kazazian stops I had the fried rice, with Keith and Linney having the pasta and dumplings. After lunch we knew we had about a 40 mile ride with nothing in between, allegedly the wind was going to die down, according to Keith weather App. Just after this stop Linney had the first of his back tyre incidents, with a really worn out back tyre, in which he had glued strips of an old truck inner tube onto the inside of the tyre to try and protect it, well this did not work, the patches rubbed on the tube causing punctures. We tried Linney spare tyre again, with no luck with in ½ it had come off the rim again. So back to the old tyre, with less pressure than normal, we still had around 20 miles to go before we hit Kulsary, even then we did not know if we could get a replacement tyre there. With a bit of luck we were soon at another truck stop 10 miles from the town, Keiths app was correct, sun was out and the wind had died down so we made good progress, had the normal coffee, soft drinks and photographs with the locals before we headed to Kulsary.
As we entered the town it was the normal chaos, cars, buses everywhere Linney leading the way, then he stop and said I have just spotted some cycle tyres in that market over the road about 50 m, I could just about see the entrance to the market stalls, never mind the tyres. Sure enough there were a couple of stores selling tyres and such, I looked after the bikes while Linney and Keith investigated further, they cam back with two tyres, quality unknown but 100% better that what we currently have, another great result. With still no hotel booked we carried on into the town chatting with the locals via their open car windows all good fun, then found the hotel, with in 20 min we were all sorted. With a plan to find a place to eat, then sort the tyres out in the morning, after a quick shower we set of for the restaurant, for some well earned food.
All in all a pretty frustrating day in the saddle, but all well that ends well
