yes but travelling at that speed in the dark under those conditions, did V or Thom reach the train station first?

Math Problem
To disable ads, please log-in.
Riding in the dark + big hole + 20 mph + slightly underinflated tires =
a pinch BLOWOUT! no little snake eyes here but inch long gashes instead. That is one tube that will not get repaired.
Thom was drafting me and heard all the air just gush right out.
Did you know two people can change a tire twice as fast as one?
It was like a ballet. Thom took the wheel off. I got out the tools. He took out the tube, I blew up the new one slightly. I put the new one in, he held the flashlight while I checked to make sure the tube wasn't pinched. I inflated the tire. He told jokes about hot air. I put the tools away. He put the wheel back on and we were off again.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

CorsairMac, you need wind speed and direction to solve V's math problem.

Otherwise he leaves me in the dust. I need to get that man back on the tandem.
