I ditto the flats comment. I have gone 500 miles without a hitch and then I get two within 50 miles of each other. Today's commute felt warmer for some reason and sure enough, it was 5 degrees warmer. I will have to leave earlier tomorrow. I had a day laborer (people who wait on the sidewalk waiting for construction people to hire them for the day) pretend he was going to jump on. It was kind of funny, I was going so fast though I figured if he really tried it he would get hurt worse than I would. It was a very nice ride (especially the shady frontage road I have started using to avoid getting crunched up against a row of pomegranite trees while passing stopped traffic).
