@ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite A3. I think this has only happened a couple of times in the last 20 years, which isn't a bad run of luck.
Once upon a time on a cold February day it was 4 Deg & the wind was howling. It rained and rained and then rained a bit more. By the third puncture my hands were useless frozen blocks. I was soaked through & close to hypothermia. I couldn't ride fast to warm up as I couldn't ride.
Toughing it out has limits. I eventually got to a village pub & phoned my lovely wife who rescued me. As she has in many ways over the years.
Makes me cold thinking about it!
