Ride home last night was terrible. I got a flat about 4 miles from home. I was able to put enough air in the tire to make it the rest of the way. This was actually my second flat in a couple of days (first was at home fortunately). It seems whenever I get a flat, I get two flats because I do something dumb installing the tube. In this case the valve stem had seperated from the tube.

I also destroyed a PBSF. It was mounted on a rack support and somehow got caught between the rack and rim. The friction rubbed a hole in the plastic. It still works, but is not waterproof at all. Maybe I'll put some duct tape on it.

Ride this morning, was 35F and raining. I was actually reasonably comfortable. I used my hiking boots instead of my bike shows today and they worked pretty well.
