Note to self... Carry more spare tubes. Increase tire pressure a bit to minimize pinch flats.

We did the
Memorial Day Alto Velo 'T' Ride, 6 tandem teams strong.
Group rides are more fun, and group tandem rides are the greatest. This is a strong group, and we reveled in that we could keep up better than previously.
If you get a flat on a group ride, or even two flats, the rest of the group will provide succor, and you'll not walk home. Brad and Sandy got a blow out flat (probably a pinch flat), and the rest were there to aid them. Maybe not turn out so well if on your own.
