So I'm back from my ride. Eventful? Yes. Fun? Not really. I decided to go to Van Saun Park to check out the MILFs. On my way there I took a detour on account of some road work being done. Ended up doing a long climb. Prolly wasn't as long as it felt though. Thighs and lungs burning, I welcomed the short downhill that was to come. Take the turn into the park and end up pinchflatting. DAMN! Luckily a few weeks ago I decided to buy a CO2 inflator and an extra tube, just in case. Removed the flat tube, replaced it an mounted the tire to the rim. Had a heck of a time centering the tire in the drops. Must have done it 3 or 4 times! By the time I was done, there was no time to go sightseeing. Back to work I headed. Decided to take the road with the road work and had a blast passing cars and dodging between those big-ass orange barrel things. Arrived at my car, wiped down the sweat, changed and here I am sitting back at my desk, waiting the 2.25 hours until quitting time. Have a great weekend all and to those taking part in the BLT and the NYC Century, have fun and be safe!
