Easy ride this morning. 63F/17C, cloudy, no wind, wet pavement, and a few puddles left from the rain yesterday and overnight.

Yesterday on my way home, in the rain, had a flat. That was fun. That was my sixth flat in 1000 miles with the Hypers.

Coincidentally, my new Marathon Plus tires arrived in the mail yesterday too. So this morning was the first morning I got to ride with them. They are very quite. I wouldn't even know I'm moving from the sound of them. Stealthy. Maybe too stealthy! I scared a dog this morning. A big one. A German Shepard, who didn't appear to appreciate being startled.

As far as ride goes, I'd say the Marathon's are a tad more harsh than the Hypers. Like if the Hypers had 5 or so more pounds of pressure in them.

When I put the front tire on, I must have had a brain fart and put it on backwards (not that it really matters). I was much too lazy to take it back off and turn it around so I had the clever idea that I'd just put the wheel on the bike backwards instead. It is the front wheel after all. About 4 miles into my ride this morning I noticed the speedometer wasn't working. After a few seconds it finally dawned inside this slow noggin' of mine what happened!
