I rode Saturday with a group and we got done before noon but it was still hot. We split into smaller groups as longer, hillier options appeared. Two of the women hung in there and did all the climbs without complaining, even a short dirt section, too. I look forward to riding with them again.
Today I rode alone and did some local climbs including a 14% section and I felt pretty good, considering my neighbors have had parties 2 nights in a row and I haven't had much sleep. Maybe that's the key, get so sleep deprived that I don't notice heat or discomfort.

So, the thing here is I have to use levers to put the tire on. So I pinched the tubes with the lever, one flat was from a spoke hole. I just finished patching them all plus 4 more.
Could it be due to thier being 23 mm tires?
I put the Michelins on no problem, no flats I just didn't care for the dead ride they gave.
I also tried a wire bead ultra deport I have due to an ordering error. Also No bueno. Can't remember when I've been this frustrated.
Also had a flat on my recovery ride this morning. Had to use my only surviving backup tube to get back to the car.

My seasonal Cat2 neighbor came to town. He's always got a fun vehicle, but this one is capturing the spirit of the moment for me -
