Got my first flat today, ever, after about 3000 miles. Changing it was easy, putting the rear wheel back on took a while. I suck at doing that. Using my small pump I bent the valve but made it home fine. I used pliers to bend back the valve and pumped it up. I think it worked!
Also, it was the first time my Garmin lost a ride, and I'm so close to 2000 miles on the year. I guess it wasn't my day.

I just finished watching "Lance Armstrong: Stop at Nothing" on Showtime. Outstanding production.

Are you another person who thinks there are no cold temps in Arizona? There are quite a few mornings in the 30's and we occasionally see some temps in the 20's. Tucson is cooler and we have cities in the mountains which see 300+ inches of snow every year.
But yeah, it's all hot and dry here.

I'm not out riding at 3pm, I work for a living and the point was I'd rather rode in the summer than in the dark and 35 degrees. It doesn't matter where you live or how much of a bad ass you think you are, rising in 30's and 40's means you better be wearing more than a t shirt.
Or do you want to have a passing contest about how only people from Alaska know what cold feels like? You're so cool.

Depends on the alcohol content. A guy I worked with in Germany kept his outside all winter, often having to brush the snow off it to drink it.

I don't know what Plato has to do with anything, but it looks like I'm OK for a little while, at least.

We had a day last year where it was colder than the coldest city in Alaska. So Toledo knows what its like to be cold. I don't ever want it to be that cold again. That was just dumb

I'm so annoyed it's 60's this week and the weekend forecast is calling for snow and 30's (and colder). If it gets to 38 or so and the roads are dry I'm going for a ride. Stupid jet stream pushing the Alaska storm east.
