There can be the "somewhat crappy" kind of rides?

Well, maybe we can call it that when we have to abort the ride at the wrong end cuz of a flat -- pinhole kind that needs a bathtub to find the hole to repair it and the spares are gone cuz of the weird spare problems in the morning, but then again, that was more a WOO-HOO ride, followed by a pleasant walk with my bike!

The puncture happened on the about-to-start-the-up-hill end of the ride that followed a GREAT downhill to the post office, and the walk was under a mile. Starting to get dark out, though, so I was kind of wishing for some blinky lights on my back side! (early dark last night, clouds bringing today's rain rolling in)
