What's up with this week? It's like the WEEK O' FLATS on this thread! I think it's all the winter built up crap on the roads-- sand, glass, etc from all the snowy days this year.

My flat was yesterday morning and it had me had me walking back home-- 2.5 miles! (The bus back home was just pulling away from the nearest stop when I dimounted.)

The walk was due to me pulling the crescent wrench out of my bag the night before when I was riding my QR equipped road bike. Didn't put it back.

Oh well, I was only half an hour late to work.

But I was too tired after getting the kids down last night to go out and fix the flat at 8:30, so I drove again. It's a shame-- what a beautiful day!
