So, I set out with long sleeves and knee warmers on a beautiful afternoon ride. I was planning 3 hours and then a 20 minute run. That is not what happened. At 2 hours 21 minutes, I was almost done with my second 27 mile lap when - pshhhhhhhh.
Yeah, I hit something on main street and now my tubular is unridable!! Yes, the tubular I have ridden only three times. Of course, this is at 4:30 on the day before I have to drop my bike off for transport. So I walked home for 25 minutes and then went for a run that ended up being 17 1/2 minutes long (2.25 miles). Legs definitely felt it. I was moving that bike today. 23.6 mph on the first lap, but only 22.6 over all (with a couple stops). I blame the increasing head wind. Yeah, thats it! 53.25 miles
So it was off to the nearest bike shop (45 minutes) before they closed and cha ching - new tire. Its stretching over night on the wheel. I'll tape it tomorrow morning and the off it goes! Crazy. I'd rather rush to get it sorted out now that on vacation, you know?
