Had another crack at the Downs Link cycle route with my family today.
This time we drove to Henfield (where we stopped last time) with the intention of riding south from Henfield towards the coast – or at least as far as Upper Beeding.
Started pouring down with rain and then I got a blasted puncture on my bike after about 3km.
I had no spare tube or repair kit so we all had to turn around and return to the car – conveniently parked in car park near the Cat and Canary pub at Henfield. This time we stopped for lunch.
Usual pub fayre of baguettes for my wife and son, ploughmans for me and chicken dippers for my daughter (everyone likes chicken dippers). Actually all nice and fresh so no complaints.
Two new tubes and a repair kit from Halfords on the way home – £15.
Will try again tomorrow.
