Puncture Bob's log of time trial punctures 2008

As I seem to have acquired a bit of a reputation as a repeat offender in the puncture stakes (at least with my racing wheels), I have decided to log these events for the 2008 season. This year I decided to switch back to clinchers (on H3 wheels) as the expense of replacing all those tubulars was becoming prohibitive.

A pair of "garage punctures" - presumably each tyre picked up a flint and had a slow leak overnight!  Very slow in the case of the rear tyre.

 This happened after the '50' on Sunday - a gash several mm long through which the tube must have bulged.  I have no idea howI made it back to the race HQ on that tyre!  My third "garage puncture" in a week!
