I have to confess I'm one of those women who relies on her husband for mechanical help with the bike--even pumping up the tires. Alas, today, dh is working late and there is a group ride tonight (the first I'll actually be able to make this season!). And in all my attempts to pump the tires, I have nearly, completely deflated them.

I'm am so embarrassed that I am going to have to ask for some strangers help. I should totally know how to do this. I've been riding for 3 years. I've asked DH to show me but he's always to busy. Perhaps its a plot to keep me dependent on him. I mean really, in 3 years he hasn't had 5 minutes to show me how to put air in my tires????? (I'm really good at blaming dh for all my problems).

I guess I'll head back outside and see if I can figure this out on my own yet. I can't believe I am finding this simple task so difficult. Urgh.
