A rollercoaster, that's what! And it was my first commute, too (you guys peer pressured me in )

I rode to work (about 5 miles one way) and made it fine and dandy, locked up on a bike rack, everything was fine. Well, I almost wrecked when I turned in too tight at a turn and the pedal rubbed the ground. But it's all good.

Until I come out to the parking lot. Flat tire. This is my first commute and I didn't really come prepared, no pump, no extra tube, no slime kit, nothing really. Luckily Wal-Mart is next door. I buy the tube and ask to borrow a pump and they won't let me! So I give up and start the 2 mile-ish walk to the LBS. Along the way, I start hearing thunder. The weather man said 10% chance of pop up storms! I ducked inside of a car wash and I just gave up and got a ride home from my dad. Ended up raining for like 4 hours.

But now I'm happy again because I broke my record on changing a flat and I got selected for a sweet scholarship I was hoping to get really bad.

I guess I won't go back out until I get a little more prepared.
