So, I need to change the title to The First 28. I was trying for 30 today, but it was not in the legs; I could have done it with a long rest stop, but there are other things I must do today. During the last week, I got a flat on Tuesday, that ended that ride at 5 miles, and everything conspired against me to keep me off the bike the rest of the week. Trying to make up for 5 days of not riding all at the same time is not the right approach, and I must vow this week to ride every night after work, regardless of how dark it is when I get home.
On the bright side, these 700x35 tires seem very easy to change, barely needed a leveler, but I bought em, so I used em.
