Oh boy did I have a massive rear tire blowout today. I mean, not for nothing, but after 60 miles this AM, friggin KABOOM!, totally a pinch flat, the tube was shredded. Tire was OK. How the hell does the tube survive hundreds of miles when it's pinched, only to suddenly detonate on a bump like that? Very strange. Those Zipp 404 clinchers are prone to pinch flats, all deep section clinchers are. So if you're racing on deep section wheels, go tubular. Seriously. I will deploy the tubie 404s for Nyack tomorrow.

Stupid clinchers.
