Sunday:
Boom.
I had smaller tubes in my tires than I should have so the initial ride closed with a bang at .9 miles, seriously a bang. Walked the bike home pretty bummed out since I had no spare tubes. When I removed the tube it had a hole about 1/2 inch in diameter.
We drove in to Grand Marais to the bike shop and I picked up 3 new properly sized tubes. and scurried home to install them.
Ride #2: Much nicer with out the exploding tires, I was a little skittish and took it easy and kept pace behind the boy on our ride to red rock and back.
The ease of movement on the new rubber was amazing I think I kept it in the largest front ring the whole ride and alternated the 3 smallest rear cogs.
So after the test ride I decided to roll the 10 mile test again 38:56 vs. 44:12 on the knobbies :).
Took the boy and the dog out for a two mile walk before dinner.
Monday:
Commute to work on the new tires @ 11:35 vs. the usual 15-20. sweeeeeet.
Weighed in at 252.3 this morning
