Vlog: Yet another pointless Lycra vlog!
Yes, yet another pointless Lycra vlog, filmed while out cycling.
I had to walk 6 miles home in Lycra
Well that cycle, did not go has planned! We out doing a 16 mile cycle, I got a flat front flat tyre! Lucky, I was well past the half way point when it happened! But I did not have anyway of fixing it! So I ended up having to pull my bike 5.8 miles back home! Yes I was dressed in my full Lycra cycling gear at the time!
This is the cycling gear, I ended up walking back home in!
If you don’t believe that I had to walk home, then check out www.strava.com/activities/605991941. The fact my pace was only 16:18/mi shows, that I was really walking!
Oh well, these things do happen! I do bet, that lots of people had fun checking me out in my Lycra, while I was walking! LOL!
