I was going well last Saturday, starting off from home at 05:30 to the start of the RACC, at Clark County College in Vancouver. Left at 07:05 and by 08:45 had gotten around Lacamas Lake. Had a blowout and examined the rear tire, and there was a see through hole in the tread, just where the round hole was in the tube. Surprize. Booted the hole with a $5 bill, and also noticed a gash, also on the tread. Inflated just fine with a 12gm CO2 cartridge, and then mangaged to mount the wheel picking up the chain coming from the bottom of the rear derailleur. So off again,and back on, and off riding. About 15 minutes later, another flat, so I decided to wait for the SAG support. It took awhile, but got a ride with the truck that was picking up the Lacamas Rest Station and would be going back to Clark College.
Last weekend's Monster Cookie Ride was a great success. Warm and sunny and fast times on the flat route, with 3 others that pushed each other.
