LMAO @ pfunk's post! We had 2 gorgeous days over the weekend, here in the Chicagoland area. A little on the windy side, but isn't it always? Did 66 miles on Saturday, and 71 miles on Sunday. Also got in 53 miles today...so a pretty good weekend for me. The only downer, was that I got a front flat on Sunday, 18 miles into our ride. Took a direct hit into the sidewall of my BRAND NEW Conti GP 4000S...crap! With a little bit of ingenuity, we managed to cover up the hole (the ol' dollar bill trick), and get just enough air into the tube in order for me to ride the 12 miles back home. Changed out the tire, and then went back out and rode another 42 miles. The downtime with the flat and then having to ride back home to change tires, did kind of kill my enthusiasm and motivation a bit...but I'm glad that I did get back out to finish my ride. I would have felt guilty of not taking advantage of such a nice day, if I hadn't.
