Some days are better than others...
I'm not going to wax eloquent with a richly spun yarn about the commute today. I think I can sum it up briefly in a way that all here will groan over and empathize with:
23 miles round trip.
Headwind both ways.
2 flat repairs.
Sigh. Some days are better than others.

I have been there and that seriously sucks when it happens. It can get me down enough to write a decent country music song...I just can't think of anything good that rhymes with headwind.

One thing I intend to add to my toolkit after this: wet-naps. A few individually sealed ones.
After two flat repairs, and forgetting to put my chain on the smallest ring because I was in such a hurry for the second, my hands were filthy. A couple of wet-naps would have been great.
