So summer came in early for Texas. Its been lows in the high 70's and the highs in the low hundreds. Heat index's suck, mid 100's. Kinda hard on the riding and its really picked up at work which makes riding even harder. The last thing I want to do after being hot at work is go ride in the heat. But I do it anyway. A couple of times here lately Ive had some inspiration to ride. New blood to ride with is always good, even better when its a girl. Not expecting anything, just a good riding partner as far as I can tell. Anyway, she's fun to ride with, doesnt bitch at all, not afraid of anything on the trail and jumps right up after a tumble. Just refreshing i guess.
A few weeks back i did the regular shop Tuesday road ride and made a slight tactical error at some rail road tracks and burped the rear tubeless tire. Waived off everyone, thinking that I would just air it right up. wrong! got it seated, then took off on the way back to the shop. it went flat again. Since i didnt have anymore CO2 or a phone, I just road it in flat. got back to the shop and realized I did more damage than I had hoped. new rim is being laced up as I type(not by me) so should be back on the road soon. Dumbass move I know. live and learn.
on a side note, Trek has the pictures of my broken frame,but with all the madone 6.0 fork problems and absorbing Gary Fisher into Trek bicycles, they haven't got to my warranty yet. as long as I get it back before the middle of august I'm fine. Until then I'm riding the geared bike.
Thats all I got for now. Not really a WTF random post but its what you get
