Nice and pleasant ride in. Last day of good weather, it seems, before the long sleeves and jackets come out in a couple days when the lows hit the 40's. Legs were sore from a hilly 130 miler on Sunday and some stop-light sprint intervals during the day. A good sore.. the kind that reminds me why I keep riding. More and more, the 9 mile commute seems too short.

On a sad note, my front tire finally called it quits and wouldn't hold any pressure over 80psi. It was a Bontrager 23 that came with the bike and had over 3500 miles on it. All this time I though there was a Mr. Tuffy under there and was surprised that the thing held together all this time all alone, despite having what must be a whole bottle worth of glass shards and a ridiculous amount of cuts and bruises in it. Now the front is sporting that monstrosity of a tire kown as the Armadillo until I aquire some Krylions.
