First puncture!
Posted by Fin on 29 July 2009
It was a complete coincidence that I managed to ride over some broken glass and get my first puncture on the day that deepeei film productions drove out to meet me. This happened on the ride down the George Parks Highway at about Mile 31, just before arriving into Anchorage several weeks back. The filming involved cycling slowly behind the car as Milan filmed from the open boot. They drove over some glass and I didn't have time to avoid it....hopefully it won't be the first of many! I am using Scwalbe Marathon tyres which have kevlargaurd reinforced puncture resistance - I do highly recommend them. Just seen Asa and Javier have started in Columbia - check out their blogs and photos!
