Rear tire flatted mid-way in this morning. Fortunately, I found a good streetlight. Turned out to be a sharp chip of road salt. Took off the panniers, flipped the bike (vertical drops and disc rear) and got things straightened out. The tire only has ~1000 miles on it, but with the weight of the rear bags, it's wearing down. Either I replace it soon, or I just put in a Mr. Tuffy and keep going. Leaning towards the latter.

I'll be patching the tube at lunch today.

Oh, and a warm-ish 45 degrees or so, with light mist. Blowing rain later today, but it'll mostly be a tailwind. Yay.
