Flat

Flat is what my legs were yesterday. I started the strength phase of the gym work a few days ago, and my legs are feeling it. I wanted to do 3+ hours with a significant climb, but I was feeling gassed on the rollers and instead of feeling better as the ride entered its second hour I was feeling worse. This is a reliable signal from my body to pack it in. A flat is what I got about a 1/4 mile out of town on the way home. It was fortuitous in some ways as I noticed that the vulcanization on the tire sidewalls was shot, which I assume means the tires are overdue for a change. I went and spent that $100 today. That means $800 in tires this month. $300 each for the moto and the car rear tires as well as another $100 for new MTB skins earlier. Oh, well they last a long time once they're on. While I was changing the tire on the side of the road two gals rode by separately on bikes. One of them looked pretty pro. Neither said a word. If they had been guys I would have thought, "Rude". But with girls you never know.
