Wet one this morning. Woke up at 5:15 to another violant thunderstorm and downpour. I decided to re-set my alarm, sleep late, and drive in today. Then, about 5 minutes later, the rain stopped, so I hopped in the shower, dressed quickly, and jumped on the bike. Althought the trail was flooded in some places, without the typical headwind, I was able to fly in and make it in almost record time. Once my back was soaked (removed my rr fender last week-big mistake), I just didn't care anymore, and hit a top speed (peak) of 26-27 mph-averaging about 18 or so. By the time I hit the 14th street bridge I had gotten a nail or tack (some kind of metal shard) in my rr tire and it was wobbling badly. Although it didn't flat, I had to slow down in case of a blowout. I'll check it before this afternoon's ride home and replace the tube if necassary. Good thing I've got some emergancy stuff with me here at work.
