Subject: Some really dumb questions! Hi all, I have to ask some superbly stupid questions again- sorry! It's my first race tomorrow, so I'm at the can't sit still stage!! Q1: This is only a mini-sprint, so I'm not anticipating a drama, but what happens if I get a puncture? Can I carry stuff with me on my bike to fix it? I was watching highlights of the world champs today on telly, and wondered why they didn't have anything except themselves and water. I guessed it was because they'd have no chance of ever catching up if they did have a puncture, so it would be a pointless exercise carrying additional kit anyway, because a stoppage would cost you so much time. But what about little me in my little mini-sprint? Q2: Are bathing caps compulsory? I'm in England, by the way, and governed by British rules, so it may be different from the US. Thanks, Jac |
