Spaceface--I usually go down South on my long rides. Out to 1826 and 45. Dripping springs area. Sometimes around Circle C.
Armybikerider--yeah bicycle sport shop was the one. Good to know, I have about 15 tubes lying aroundt hat only have 1 tiny hole in them each. I'm gonna get a patch kit and patch them all up so I don't have to buy tubes for years!
Also, I started running gatorskins in the 2 months since I posted in this thread and haven't gotten a flat since...it's a record for me.
