Watch your tyre pressure

As you know I have been out of action from the 8th of May due to my thumb accident and only finally managed to start riding again from last week.

The first thing I have noticed was that the bike felt gummy and not as responsive as I am used to, particularly in the corners. I thought the tyre pressure felt a bit low so I went to the petrol station to check/inflate the tyres and to my surprise the front tyre had about 10psi left and the back one 14.5psi. I got them both up to 33 and now the bike feels proper again.

Amazing what 2 months of inactivity can do to your tyres.

Have you checked your pressure lately?
