24 miles at 15.2 average speed. Stupid Strava always rips me off a tenth.
FLATTED on this ride, maybe 2 miles from the finish. I hit something about the size of a small ashtray, hole in the pavement. Hit hard, one that makes you say DAYUM! Then I pull into my rest stop to refill my bottle and notice the tire is soft, MAN!!! As I was replacing the tube, a guy from the Crazy Legs fast ride rides up and asks if I wanted to borrow his floor pump living right on the next corner. I am OK I tell him thank him, the he rolls off. A couple minutes later, her returns and says he brought it anyway. Wow, that was super cool. I had already counted about 90 strokes with my little frame pump. But sure, I slapped it on and about 4 strokes later, it was done! Hey man, really appreciate it, thanks a million. Saved me from finishing in the dark! Still some cool people in the world!
Was a nice ride though. Man those dudes, Crazy Leg Riders are real fast. They rolled right by me heading East, then again heading West as my course is a bit shorter. Then they stopped for a break and I rolled by. Arrow and Eucla. Then on Bonita and White, they rolled by me again. I thought about hopping on the back but the group was a bit broken up into 3 so I didn't want to interfere. Though I don't know if I could have stayed on the back or not. They were rolling pretty good ha ha ha!
Pinch flat, yeah!
