No northern lights on the way home, life is still great anyways, but... Had my first flat on the way home this evening, at the end of the new bike path along Lake Ontario. Must have picked up some construction debris in the gravel as I was exiting the path. Had to use the cell to call home for a ride, I was travelling light without pump or tube. Oh well, there goes self sufficiency!!
It was a challenging ride anyway, very gusty headwinds, overcast with a storm approaching. I was only 15 minutes from home when I had the flat. I guess I can justify buying myself some commuting slicks now, the old knobbies were about 8 years old. I didn't want to replace them until the magic was off them!
