If they come in threes...what could be next?

Tue/Thr oldest has unicycle club at 6:30am. Hey, if she's interested and awake...of course I will take her to school early. But in past it killed my ride. Light bulb! Put my bike on Thule roof rack, drive both kids to school (different locations but .5 mile appart) and park car, ride the remaining 9.5 miles. COOL!

NOT! Got #1 to unicycle. Got #2 to Middle School, headed off from curb....tick tick tick tick...what is on/in my tire?! Pull over 200 feet up...big mother bolt like they use to put on corrugated roofing! Dangit!!

Call wife, bring tools and plug kit. I've cooled off now but at the time I was HOT! I was able to keep a level head and stuck to plan albiet 45 minutes later than usual. Plug tire, drive to church p-lot. Rode in with WAY too many cars doing not very bike friendly stuff! But I was still in before 8!

Dumped rain all day, dark and ugly all day. Left 5:45 way later than my new year resolution. Stopped raining but black out. In first minute rode over a clump of leaves not realizing dry clumps, no prob....wet clumps after heavy downpour...almost pushed me over into the ditch. Ride AWAY from curb after big rain. All sorts of UFOs in road. Slow down and get home safely!

Still 100% bike 2006....less one LCD screen on laptop! Thank goodness for docking stations!!
