On Sunday, I rode a personal best 32 miles on my new Trek 3900.
Monday I was exhausted and didn't ride. Yesterday, although still
sore, I decided to take a short ten miler to stretch things out once again.
I found the bike in the condition you see above. The bad news?
I have a flat in the front tyre (less than 400 miles on it)! The
good news? It didn't manifest itself until I got home (I could have
been miles from home!).
I have the mechanical aptitude of a banana slug. I've been fearing
what would happen when I got my first flat out in the field somewhere,
and now, I get to practice changing a flat in my own living room, with a
cold drink nearby and a book: Bicycle Maintenance for Dummies.
No ride today, unfortunately.
