Not a horrible ride in given the forecast-for a while, at least. I got out just ahead of the worst of the rain and was making great time as I had a significant tail wind. On a couple of occassions the wind was strong enough to make it feel as though it was going to knock the bike out from under me-especially on the leafier sections of the trail. I was largely dry and making great time until the 14th Street Bridge then, whamo! another freakin' flat. I limped along on a slowly deflating rr wheel until I got to the parking deck opposite Phillip's on the waterfront. There I stood, in the dark, dirty parking garage, wet and standing amidst bum piss cursing and slowly changing my tube in disbelief (I've had more flats since April than the entire 8 year period preceding that, combined). I put everything away and emerged from the parking deck to a deluge. Fortunately I only had about 1/2 a mile to go but, I was nearly completely soaked in that short time. If not for the flat, I would have made it in completely unaffected by the storm. Oh well, I guess that's part of the breaks. I completely removed my tire/tube at work just to give it a thorough once over so that I might feel a little more confident on the way home-couldn't find any puncture, foreign obect-nothing. The temp has since dropped about 15 degrees and the morning tailwind will be a huge headwind on the way home. Great.
