And it was going so well - exploring somewhere completely new, and some beautiful weather to boot

Two puncture repairs later and I had to resort to putting my Kevlar puncture prevention strip underneath the inner tube, against the wheel....my newly fitted rear wheel was missing the protective strip that sits against the wheel, and my inner tube now has regularly spaced holes from the recesses for the spokes...

Oh well, I've got the wheel strip from my last wheel and a spare inner tube

Still... frustrated I made such a dumb mistake! And that I had to cut short my ride, just to crawl home.
