A good day. Gusty winds still NNE which slows progress. Cycled 117 ams today at 22.2 Km per hour. A fair amount of climbing. The country side is dry with a minimum of trees. The whole 117 Kms is subject to road works hence there is a lot of rough road surface. This caused the back tyre to be totally trashed and blow the tube in spectacular fashion. Fortunately I was only about 500 metres from the town of Surat. Jan had gone into town to get petrol as the petrol gauge was showing empty about 20 Kms from Surat. There is a fuel Station in Surat, thank God. This is my fourth flat tyre which means I am having to patch tubes to be able to carry on. Believe it or not I was able to buy a tyre repair kit in Surat. Population 150 ???
