Love the warm temps. My fastest paced ride in 2013. My legs were tired as this is my third day in a row riding. Tomorrow will be my day of resting my legs and prayerfully have a good job interview.

alright Flat tire shortened my ride 10.53 mi

It was so nice out finally. I haven't even seen the sun in awhile.
So I rationalized my continued ride. Flats will happen. I'm happy I don't get them much :-)16 days ago • Like

Have you tried using liners? They seem to help on my tires and I ride along the highway most of the time - glass, tire shards, wire, nuts, bolts, gravel and lumber.

2 people liked what Jim shared-
My first apartment, I lived on the 30th floor of a 33 floor apartment building. People would always set off the fire alarm and you'd have to wait until the fire department came before you could use the elevators. One day, I decided to say, screw this and take the stairs to my apartment. IT WAS THE WORST DECISION I HAD EVER MADE.
