I flatted during my last lap at my practice race (Folsom Cyclebration) where my rear wheel picked up fully 10 goatheads. I'd like to think that I satisfied the gods with that first race, so I put the tubulars on and *fwew* call the rest luck!

My boy flatted his brand new tubular tire with a big gash in the side wall. It hadn't been ridden more than 100 yards.

-- gnat!
