Another character builder for me today. Left the house on wet roads from the night rain, Turned left at the end of my street, started down a 1/2 mile long fairly steep hill and found out the water was hard and dry, I slid most of the way down and was able to control my speed and not fall. When I reached the main road, the fog was so thick I could barely see the road, I rode about 3 miles and picked up a tack in the rear tire, flat #1, I replaced the tube and continued on thinking that the fog was going to lift, well it didn't. It was thick and wet all the way to work, when I rode into the parking lot slightly on the late side, I rode over a sharp peice of concrete and , you guessed it, flat #2. Well tonight I'm cutting up the panaracer's, I'm installing the winter PR belted michelins and will be done with this flat thing. Since new these tires have flatted 16 times, they are quite worn in just 1300 miles, I won't be buying panaracer tires again, they were a disappointment from day 1. 11:00 and the fog hasn't lifted yet, the sun is suposed to shine today, hopefully for the ride home. have a great day all.
