What happens when you let a weaker opponent hang around? 😉

When I was preparing to ride I didn't realize I had put a tube in the back tire of the Ellsworth months ago, so I pumped it up to 24 psi, typically perfect for me on 2.3" tubeless. Anyways I was having a blast out there on Trail 100 and pinch flatted, started trying to pump it up but I could hear the hiss of air escaping before I could get more than 10 PSI in there. A trail angel appeared and hooked me up with a 29er tube and I stuffed that in there, put in 30 PSI, surely that's enough for tubes? Nope, I felt my rim hitting rocks a couple times and sure enough pinch flatted again. Thought I'd ride it flat down off the trail and Uber or something but I didn't wanna wreck my rims so only did that for a 1/4 mile, then hiked the bike over to a wash and stashed it and started hiking to REI. I was dreading it at first but the weather was so nice and I still had a litre of water left I was actually having a good time. Then I passed a free grapefruit house, grabbed a couple and ate as I walked. They were primo, best grapefruit ever, at that point I totally put Ubering out of my mind.
Wasted my 20% off coupon on a tube, bought another full price too, JIC. Good thing too, as after I got back to the bike and peeled the tire off I notice my tubeless tape got absolutely destroyed by riding rocks on a flat tire. But I put 35 psi in this time and the tube held for the 7 miles trail ride back to the van, even made it back before dark.

I haven't seen this one, but by and large Clint Eastwood is overrated.
SMH. Texas is a terrible team. We shot 12% from 3-point land and still won.

2. I really wanted the Zags to meet the Longhorns, so I picked Texas as wishful thinking. Then figured Texas would take out the Ducks too...
