I was unstoppable today...I was killin' the hills today, and going around 25 on the flats. The weather was great, in the high 50's. As my riding partner finally catches up, he says, how do you go so fast on those hills? Im 40lbs heavier then him and my bike weighs 10 pounds more then his...yet i'm still beating him...

Then the skies turned overcast around the 15 mile mark. We decided to start heading home. At 21.35 miles, I got a flat. Since my bike is a 1980s beast, it is not QR. I didn't have a wrench, and I just didn't feel like changing the tire on the side of the road.

Out came the cell phone to call mommy, but she's not home! Her cell isn't on! Luckily, my friend Brad was able to reach his mommy, and she came in her SUV and picked us up. A dissapointing end to a good ride...
