Today's ride was shortened by the continuous rain started about 9am and 1 hour into the ride. I put on my plastic raincoat and head gear continued the ride thru' this very remote section of SH6. Not only the continuous rain sadden me,to add salt into the wound,I have my 1st punctured on the rear tyres,luckily it did not happen on a downhill. Couldn't find the root-cause,most probably the tyres need to change to a new one and also to source for new inner tube ,now I have no spare tube for 26".Hopefully this current one can last me until a big town. At about 1.30pm and 42km mark,I came to Clark Valley Recreational Park to take shelter from the rain seems to be getting heavier, I decided to cut short my ride today as I don't want to get caught in the middle,and there is a small stream with very clean water for boiling. What a miserable day!!!
