Well my flatless streak ended last night. I blew out the rear tire in a construction zone, pulled off the road and found about a 1" nail in my tire. That nail woulda flatted a car tire so i'm still in love with my Continental Gatorskins.
Sticky situation this morning. It was raining fairly heavily and I was going down an undivided 80kph rural road. Still early and still darkish. A dog that has been known to chase me had me lined up in his sights. I can see a line of cars in my rearview moving to pass. I tried to signal to the cars to stop (of course they didn't), the dog runs out into the road as the cars move to pass me. They see the dog at the last minute and there's a braking and skidding. Every commute's an adventure.
