It was a thorn. It projected c 5mm inside the tyre. I did not bother cleaning my cycle as I decided to go for a ride at lunchtime.
I made a sandwich and some squash and set off to Weston. I rode to the church, then walked along the footpath back to the (ex) Red Lion. I then rode along Hitchin Road/Lannock Hill to the North Road.
A bridleway took me under the motorway and to a picnic site south of Willian, where I ate my lunch.
I then returned to town along NCN route 12.
After a cup of tea I gave Hardy a good scrub. At least it was just good honest mud. Two days ago I was scrubbing off aluminium and brake block dust, salt and all kinds of other road crap.
Back to work tomorrow; night shift.
