way to go aggie-
half way is still super impressive!
I live in the flats of SE MI and we have nothing even close to that- a few steep inclines but way way shorter.

42.6 MPH seems crazy fast too!

hopefully your husband got the flats out of his system for awhilea nd can go on a few rides without any- it's a might anoying disruption to a ride. I seem to be a magnet for flats- I am very quick at changing them now, but I can completely relate to 2 in one day- i've had it happen several times....
