Plans

I will hop on my bike after work and ride around 16km to get there. Hopefully, SAT images are accurate, and there are no construction works.

Expedition

The weather was ideal for a bike ride, so I checked my tire pressure and set off around 5 pm. The first 6 kilometres were smooth sailing as I rode on a gravel path atop a flood embankment. Suddenly, my rear wheel began to drift, and I soon discovered that the tube had gone completely flat.

I had to carry my bike for over 1.5 kilometres to the nearest bus stop, but unfortunately, the bus didn't go to the hash. Since I had planned to meet a friend for a pizza and coffee after reaching the hash, I decided to keep the meeting and not disappoint her. Across the street was a bike shop, and I hoped to have my wheel fixed so I could still reach the hash. However, I arrived after their closing hours.

Consolation prizes: The pizza and coffee were delicious, and my friend gave me a ride home.

Lessons learned: carry some tools and a spare tube
