  • Home early because I flatted out at Adams Rd.  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.  Remembered that left HR monitor watch at work, so there will be no HR monitoring this evening.  Then I couldn't get the speedo to work still.  I guess I was really blessed during the race that I could get it to work.  Finally rush to pump up tires (they were around 60psi before pump) and out I went.  Bike feels a bit wobbly.  I dunno if it's me, the bike (aluminum?) or tires.  I didn't pump beyond the normal 120++ psi, and these tires could take up to 150psi (although it does say normal is 110psi).  Along a slow downslope along Adams Rd, the bike went extreme wobbly, sliding left and right.  I look back and tires look ok, but when I tried going, it slided again.  I came off the bike and check.  Yup, got a flat.


    So here I am.  Home.  Blogging again.  Will continue after dinner.  Maybe after changing tires even.  I need to get them ready for tomorrow morning ride.
