Default 4 flats tonight

I came back out to my bike and as I rode off, ****, the rears flat.
Removed two grains of glass but couldn't find the hole in the tube.
It didn't hold air though. Put the spare in. That leaks. Patched it.
All good. Nearing home, wham, hit a rock? at about 45.
Both wheels flat.
At least it was only 5mins walk and I didn't have my race pedals on.
Still intending to take a light and check/clear what I hit.

Have you inadvertently invoked the Mighty Wrath of the Puncture Gods?
Try two Hail Mary's and a prayer to Madonna del Ghisallo.

I hope I've done my penance already.
The rear collected a double puncture. Snakebite!
Commuting on my race wheels tommorrow rather than fix things.
Training for Saturdays race?

I miss my commuter, only one more week, more like an axe than ever.
