Pedal Pushers

Due to various factors…holidays…trip out and a rainy start only 2 of the pedal pushers decided to go for a ride today. However…less is sometimes more and we rode from our usual start point at Litherland Sports centre as far as the Lifeguard Station on Crosby shore. We used the paths through the marine park and the very sandy paths along the first part of the shore which gave us new challenges. However on reaching the coastguard station we faced our biggest challenge….a puncture! Both of us had repair kits but neither of us has the necessary spanners to take the wheel off! So the return trip was done in stages with pumping the tyre up at frequent intervals. Lesson learned….always have your travel pass with you as we could have returned on the train!  Anyway we got back in one piece, probably used a lot more calories than we intended but still had a very enjoyable ride!
