Time for a change

It occurred to me the other day that it had been a while since I had last changed the tyres on my training bike. Probably around a year or so. I hadn't looked that closely, but I figured the tyres were probably on their way out and so could do with replacement.

With that in mind I grabbed some new tyres the other day and had a look at my wheels. This is what I found.

It is a bit hard to see in the photo, but that is a patch of thread peeking out from the tyre in the middle there. That isn't the only patch of exposed thread either. Oops. At least I can say I got every mile possible out of the tyre.  I think I might be kind of lucky that I haven't had more punctures though.

Definitely time for a change.


Training was a spin on the trainer this morning. I was on the trainer this time around not because of the weather, but because it is a good training tool. In fact the weather today has made a return to perfect from the misery of Sunday.

Even though I missed out on the wonderful morning, the session was a good solid one. In the end that is one of the reasons for using the trainer, it always provides a solid workout if you want it to. Not much else to say about the session. Effective.

Swimming in the morning, which I am sure will be the usual Wednesday morning ordeal. Still we choose to go, so I should probably just suck it up. Besides during the session I can comfort myself with the knowledge that I don't have to go to work afterwards since I have a day off tomorrow.

That should help.
