On The Road

Well, I've finally lost my 'Puncture Virginity' this morning on my way down here to Georgetown, Panang Island, Malaysia. The 2 previous 'blow outs' don't count. New years eve here is hotting up properly. Pulsing muzac, and fireworks to start shortly. This is apparently a "World Heritage Site' Something to do with colonial history, East India company, chinese immigration in late 19th century and all the buildings that go therewith. Pretty place but more like Hong Kong skyline with old buildings buried somewhere in the cityscape.

Will roost here a couple of days before moving south to Kuala Lumpur.

Happy New Year to 1 ( or 2) and all.

Happy NY to you too
Nick - enjoy your 2/7 roosting. PS: difference between blow out and puncture for us non-cycling psychopaths? Surely just semantics being used to skew the stats?

Blow-Out
How VERY dare you!. A blow out is when the tyre comes right orff the rim. It's noisy and particularly annoying as both were self inflicted. Yes the stats have to be skewed to justify this whole silly trip. What would my sponsor ( Lin) think of me if I just had ordinary punctures like ordinary cyclists. I've had 2 proper punctures in the last week to make up for the previous deficiency so now joining the ranks of the common peddler. Had to happen but now a new tyre and should be sorted......
