Subject: RE: IronAnneKidd's Mentor Group - Closed for business!Wow....what a frustrating weekend. After my night out with my wife Friday (which was great ), I attempted to get a ride in Saturday afternoon. About 1.5 miles in....A FLAT!! I soon realized I had neglected to move my air pump from my mountain bike over to the road bike. ![Yell Yell](/discussion/jscripts/tiny_mce3.4b3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif) So, I did get a 1.5 mile walk in, back to the car. By the time I returned home and repaired the tire it was too late to get in my ride, as I had to work Saturday night. So, After working Sat, I headed to the gym Sunday morning for a swim.....MISTAKE! No matter how hard I tried, I just could not get anything working in the pool. either I couldnt breath or wasnt rotating or my legs were sinking, etc....finally after about half my usual workout, I gave up. The weather turned out to be wonderful here in NW IN today, about 70 degrees, albeit a little windy. So, I load the bike and head for the path to finish my ride. About 2 miles in....ANOTHER FLAT!!!!! But this time I'm prepared with a spare (patched )tube and my pump. 5 minutes and I'm rolling again. 5 minutes later, an unbelievable 3rd flat!!!! I'm totally disgusted now....paying no mind to the damage to the tire, I ride the flat back to the car. I stop at the store on the way home pick up a new tube (with slime this time ![Undecided Undecided](/discussion/jscripts/tiny_mce3.4b3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-undecided.gif) ) and tire. Upon arriving home I just push the bike in the garage....not even bothering with the tire repair. Change of clothes and I'm off to the trail for a run. This was the one bright spot....I DID manage to accomplish a good run. Whew....sometimes it seems it's just not meant to be. Well, tomorrows another day. How was everybody elses weekend? |
