The day started off nicely enough, which has not been something to take for granted this summer in ABQ.

I had planned on riding a solo century, and in fact it was going as planned till about mile 58. Which was when I got a flat, my first one since returning to riding. So with 6 years since my last flat (and repair!), it took ridiculously long for me to fix it, though fix it I did. After having wasted so much time I opted for the easy option and just rode a metric century.

Feeling energetic and as if I'd not gotten my riding fix for the day, I then went mountain biking. Wow, it was almost swamplike in the mountains. The rain had carved out huge holes and made the ground squishy and loose - not to mention muddy - ack. Still I got a nice short ride in.

Finally I came home and felt OK getting off the bike....well at least till tomorrow morning!
