Ben has managed to pick up four punctures in the last few weeks. Laura still has none (touch wood).
The first puncture came about because Ben cycled (with disdain) over a large thorn that was visibile from a long way off but ignored.
The second, third, and fourth were more like flats than punctures, and were all the result of Ben´s hasty approach to puncture repairs: not putting the right patch on, not putting the right patch on the right way, putting the right patch on the right way and then dropping the patched tube on concrete. You get the picture. Incompetence all round...)
Another flat tyre on the path to Lago O´Higgins
From now on incompetence is banned. Come to think of it so are haste and disdain.
Ben 4 - Laura - 0
I'd say that ben has only officially had one puncture. And that the incompetence, rather than actual punctures are to blame for the opther flatties. (Unless of course those 3 flatties are what I need to win the competition - then they are valid punctures!) Good luck. keep going. Roy
