Cool ride in with occasional sprinkles, other than the headwind, it wasn't a bad ride. I'm sitting here looking at yet another flat. Luckily the tube held until I got to work in fact, I didn't realize it had flatted until just a few minutes ago. This is the 3rd or 4th flat I've had in as many weeks. I'm currently riding on Continental Ultra Sports and have been enjoying the speed and handling but dreading the decreased flat protection. I've put off replacing them with something with a higher level of protection but, I've had enough. I just got out an order for some Conti Tour Rides and, although they're slower with greater rolling resistance, they give me much more peace of mind. I'll change the tube over lunch and ride home on a mushy rr. tire, again (my new office doesn't have access to a bike room/floor pump so, I'll use my hand pump which may get me to 40 lbs or so).
