So, a fellow shows up to the club ride today and about five miles in, he gets a flat. Being a good ride starter, I hang with the fellow till he gets it fixed. Oh. He has a tube and levers, but no pump or co2... Come to find out, both tires were flat this morning and he just filled them up.
Another fellow shows up to a seventy mile ride out in farmland running Pro 3's.
I don't get it. At least they both took an early turn, and didn't do the whole thing. I never would have caught the group hauling them behind me.

Wheel woes continue.
Potato chip wheel 808 grams
Only two decent 26" wheels on hand:
871 grams
989 grams (without rimtape!)
Sad, sad day to be adding weight to the race rig.

Hmmm, the rear wheel on the KHS has the same Mavic 238 rim as potato chip wheel. Maybe I'll have some wheelbuilding fun.

"Men are sheep" is apparently the main course in Women's Training 101, cuz they're all good at it.

It is a bit til you figure it out, then it's quite simple and elegant. Took me about two weeks with the car.
