Thursday Morning

It's sounding repititious, but I did the Dam Ride (b) again. Nothing happened. Took the camera but didn't take any pictures, although someone made an interesting addition to the bike path pictograph in Santee. Speaking of, the trolley sat so long at its stops that I beat it from Fletcher Parkway to Cuyamaca.

Saw the blonde chick (no, not THAT blonde chick!) at the lake. If you go there, you know who I mean. She's ALWAYS there, every day, running.

Tuesday evening discovered another flat, on the rear. So Wednesday I pulled the tube and sure enough it had a hole. So I patched it and put it back in. So far, so good! Marking the hole with chalk is working out well. I carry a piece in the tube repair kit on the road, and have a chunk on the repair stand too.

I also use the chalk when earling the chain to mark from where I started. I hope there isn't an abrasive action from the chalk/oil mixture, although I DO try to wipe the chalk off when I get there. And it's on the outside of the link, anyway.
