yesterday was a hard day of riding for me. In the morning I had the strong wind in my face, and it shifted during the day and became even stronger. Plus I was going to my mom's so the ride back was LONG and windy. I was so glad to ge there. Then on the way back from her place, I was cruising along pleasantly, with no wind, when a flat happened.

This is when I notice that my bike repair shop had removed my quick release on the back wheel when he changed it, and tightened the nuts to no end. That alone took me 10 minutes. I was clothed to bike, so stopping in the wind being all sweaty was cold. Heh. Days like this when I get home, I know that when the ride is hard and the sh*t goes down, I can still face it!
