I don't know which biking god I angered this week, but I am paying for it now.

As I mentioned earlier, I had a flat on my front wheel coming into work this morning. No big deal, I had a spare tube.

On my way home today, I had another flat, this time on my back wheel. Since I had already used my spare tube this morning, I tried (unsuccessfully) to patch the hole. I'm not sure what I did wrong but it didn't seal.

I had a meeting at 6:30 tonight, so I didn't have time to try it again and had to call my wife for a pick up. I only got 1.5 miles in this afternoon before I had a flat! That sucks!

I only have 3 days this week to ride, since I was out of town on Tuesday and tomorrow, so I hate to lose half of one day.

I swung by the LBS after my meeting tonight, but they were already closed. Hopefully I'll be back home tomorrow early enough to get by there and buy some new tubes. Otherwise I will have to drive on Friday. This time I am going to carry two spare tubes!
