What are the odds of having two flats in 65 miles. It could have easily been three. The first flat was a wire, (radial tire trash) I kept looking and dang if I didn't find another wire too. The second was right out in the hot Arizona sun at mid day. How fun. I am just glad I carry two tubes, and never less than 3 co2s. Well they can't all be great fun rides.

The hardest and longest ride I have ever done. It is called the Ramrod and is a 150 mile loop around Mr. Rainier in Washington State. Oh yeah, just under 10,000 feet of climbing. Time to collapse.....

umd, here is the flat I suffered 
.
https://connect.garmin.com/activity/42358527
You can see the walk of shame back home and I never figured out what I ran over as I saw it bounce into a rain catch in the curb. I only suffered because I didn't get to ride in the evening and meet my 300 miles in 30 days challenge!
Changing this tubular, I decided to try out my Innovations CO2 (16 gram, threadless) and was immediately impressed. I was inflated to 125psi in less than five seconds. SWEET! I'm glad I bought more refills and more tubulars.
I swapped the rally for a Corsa CR.

Was visiting a friend for a couple days and took the bike along. Went out on a short solo ride when I found some time. Most likely moving to Denver in a couple weeks so not many flat rides in my future I hope.

It's Monsoon season in the Arizona desert. Got wet last two rides. I changed todays route as my planed route was lightning and thunder a plenty in that direction ( over Usery Pass) so I headed towards Tempe. I got wet anyway, but didn't come across any flooded washes so that was good. Had to take it a little slower, almost went down a few times, it gets slick out there in the rain.

Throw the stick!!!!
Another ride, I'm still slow.
https://connect.garmin.com/activity/42564407
On aside note noticed how inconsistent the speed is on the 705 when not using a speed sensor? At one point I was going 30 something and the speed was showing 11 mph. Guess I'm going to have to buy the speed/cadence sensor after all.

Wanted to do a solo non-stop 5-hour century today, but started to cramp and had to stop for drinks in the heat. Ended up doing about 5:01 (moving time) for 100 miles in the middle (excluding a few miles warmup & cooldown) with about a 5 minute stop in the middle.

umd, What's the deal with the lap times. They all seem to be an odd time/mileage. Just wondering.

I hit the lap button when I change roads or start/finish an interval. #2, #5, and #9 were intervals, of sorts. Note the average power relative to the other laps.

My workout was to do 5 hours. It's just that with the power I was supposed to do it at, I figured it would be over 100 miles. Unfortunately the stitch in my side prevented me from doing the last 2 intervals which cost me about 10W averaged over the final 2 hours.

^^^^ yeah, my plan will be a 100 miles with NO intervals. plus its the midwest so those mountain things are not an issue. i just enjoy the solo suffering, the solo effort, the 100 miles, and so on. i started my cycling "career" doing like a million centuries each summer. none so far this year. in fact, today i rode for 27 minutes. later.

I did the Miles of Smiles 100, on probably the hilliest route you can go in
Central Illinois and some crazy gravel in places that made for less than
ideal times. I had to ride 6 miles to the start and 6 miles home but the
tour took me 5:33, I was pretty close to 6 hours total riding. First time I
ever road in a group of cyclist it was really fun. We manage to spread out
pretty quick but I road the last 50 with a friend and we manage to bring the
last 19 miles in on a smooth road in 1 hour.
My second century and much hard that my first one with some serious climbs.
I think the gravel in places cost us at least 5-9 minutes I just hate it and
go really slow. I think tomorrows run will be really, really slow at least
this tames the desire for a Sunday ride.
