...to ride this morning, i guess. Imagine getting a pinch-flat...
1) at 5'oclock in the pitch black
2) in the middle of nowhere
3) in the rain
My first flat, so i got that out of the way at least. :D
Man, a pinch flat? Always check your tires before you ride!
Sucks though, to get a flat. Especially in the rain.

Oh but it gets better, now it seems that my wheel is out of true. I'm hoping that I can get this all fixed so I can join you guys on Saturday. With my luck these days it'll probably rain...

How come noone asked the question of, "what in the world is he doing riding at 5 AM in the morning"? :twitchy:

LOL! It's the only free time I have, to get any mileage, during the weekdays. It's dark when I wake up and it's dark when I come home.
I'm riding up in the hills so I have owls, deer and the occasional coyote to keep me company sometimes. :D

I'm definitely giving you my vote of Most Dedicated Rider. 5 AM....I'll be lucky if I can even manage to roll over the side of my bed to turn off the electric blanket at 5 AM.
