Friday night, my bike was mostly fine. I was trying to adjust something, so I was just riding it around the parking lot a bit, that was it. Sunday afternoon I go to put my bike in the car, flat tire! Leaking fast, right where the valve attaches. Now both of the original tubes are out, maybe they were just junk. :-P I had just purchased a backup tube, but still, come on now. Bring on the solid rubber tires already. ;-)
So I went biking with Evan at South Mountain, on the noob-friendly Desert Classic trail. Without much of a warmup, we both felt dead about a mile in. I started to do better after that, Evan kept getting more physically drained, and may in fact pack an oxygen tank next time. Round trip was about 7.5 miles, and I felt like I burned about a billion calories. I had a good time though, confidence is increasing, and I look forward to getting back out there again.
Unrelated matter, I finished my Battlestar Galactica season 1 dvds, and season 2 is on its way from amazon.com. Great show. :-D
