Slow leak on Krister&#8217;s rear tyre &#8211; talk about swift punishment <\/p>\n<p>Anyway we were at a very attractive spot and around lunch, so Candy \/ Karl cooked pasta while Krister was going to do a quick replace of tube.<\/p>\n<p>We bought 2 new tubes in Sweden last week. Low and behold the knobhead in the bike shop gave us the wrong tubes&#8230;<br \/>We had kept 2 of the previous ones that we had replaced and decided to put a fair bit of slime in. Desperate times. It worked!!!<br \/>We decided to leave the track and ride to a bike shop 40 minutes away to get new tubes. Closed!!!!<br \/>Rode on for another 2 hours towards a bike shop but arrived after closing. Decided to get a room and see shop Sat am <br \/>During the afternoon the tyres stayed inflated&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This route was very scenic with rolling hills and superb landscape so it was definitely worthwhile&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
