Made use of the rainy weather yesterday to troubleshoot my flat front tire on the GT. Determined that this was due to a manufacturers defect in the Schwalbe SV-14a tube, some microscopic porosity on the inner surface of the tube that was too small to be seen, but large enough to pass a perceptible stream of air. I swapped the tube, pumped up the tire, and was pleased to see the tire was still inflated this afternoon, when I took the bike for a quick spin along the Mystic Lakes.
The mouth of the Aberjona River: what's reflected, what's substantial?
Mystic Valley Parkway: rare ElliptiGO sighting. Another escapee from the gym.
Shannon Beach was dominated by little kids and their parents this afternoon. Family beach scene, not a party scene this time.
A couple of open water swimmers could be seen from the Tufts pavilion on Upper Mystic Lake. I've done a certain amount of that, and the idea of towing a buoy, as apparently currently encouraged by the State, is not appealing. The idea that having strong swimmers encumber themselves will somehow protect foolhardy non-swimmers puzzles me.
The Wonder Working Water Walkers were back. How
do they do that?
