Thanks zjrog, it's not been easy getting back into riding, that first couple weeks were a killer on my neck, but now that problem is gone and hopefully with new tires and a better route selection the flats problem will be a thing of the past as well.
When I first got the bike, a Trek Madone 4.7, about 10 years ago, I was riding the city streets but had a large nail go through not only my rear tire but also completely through the rim as well. I'll see if I can post a pic of that. the rim was a nice deep v type and I had a Powertap SL+ on the hub so I had to buy a new rim and have it spoked to the Powertap hub.
The route from Farmington to Utah lake would be nice were it not for the really crappy pavement along much of the southern part of the JRP and that's before you count the chuckle-heads that frequent that stretch.
I was planning to ride yesterday but when I got up it was snowing so...
