Stretched my commute to 35 mi today so I could hit my 150 mi/week goal. Almost didn't make it though.


Had a flat on the way home in an area with woods. Blood sucking mosquitoes were chewing away on me in miserable heat while I changed the tube out. Then my Lezyne Trigger CO2 inflator wouldn't trigger - I got it to work but it froze open and I lost all of the CO2. So, with a Lezyne power drive (I had found on the road on another ride) I managed to get it pumped up enough to get out of the mosquito infested area then enough to get to a rendezvous point with my support team (my wife) who brought a pump so I could finish out the last 10 mi, which were quite pleasant
