Subject: RE: March Challenge - Any West Coast Conference peeps?UGG...what a beautiful day for a bike ride, was scheduled for a 1 1/2 hour ride. too bad 30 minutes in to mine I had a flat. I am happy to report, I got the tire off, got the tube out, found the piece of glass that was the culprit. Put a new tube in, finally got the tire back on the rim. Pumped up the tire, let out air so not to get a snakebike/overlap. Pumped up fully.....then was almost on my way....and then ..... POP>>>>whossshhhhh and yet another FLAT. I gave up..had someone come pick me up. Then went to my WONDERFUL local bike shop where I got new tires, couple of tubes and they even gave me a quick tune of my derailer and trued my front tire a bit.
So, needless to say I did not get my long bike ride in today.....don't worry have til Friday to get my minutes in. Tomorrow I have a playoff hockey game so have to save my legs for that one!
hope everyone else had a better riding day. BUT on the BRIGHT side, I was self suffient and I am proud of myself that I was able to change the tire.
