Route #004 & Route #005

You ever have one of those days that didn't start out just right? Nothing too big happened, but you kind of felt a static that something bad might happen. Then I went for a bike ride.

I had a big ride planned. I had built up my steam this week for a good long ride. But it turned into a short ride with a bit of walking and a good lesson.

My planned route:

Route #005
Distance: unknown
Travel Time: unknown
Level of Difficulty: (1:easy - 5:hard) 2-3



I had hoped to do that route but I got a flat tires at Will Rogers Park. So I took this route instead. With a lengthy walk back to the my home base.

Route #004
Distance: unknown
Travel Time: unknown
Level of Difficulty: (1:easy - 5:hard) 1



Lesson Learned:
August 1st is the last day that I will ride a road bike without TWO extra tubes and a tire pump.

Well, at least Wheeler Dealer will get a bit more business. This didn't make me want to slow down at all. This just makes me want to investigate some thicker rubber. Maybe there is some sort of "city" tires that are a bit thicker. Something I can use on curb jumping and the occasional grassy shortcut.

Cheers,
