I put in over 9+ hrs today, plus a ride to and from work. On my ride home I got a flat! I was pissed. I noticed my new tire in the back had already worn thin! I have gone through 2.5 sets of tires this year. I usually only go through one on the road bike. I am done with this brand of tires. Tomorrow I am going to give Big Al from bikeman.com a call and order up some new rubber. To top it off the only spare tube I had was one from Bontrager that they recalled. I couldn't get a refund on the tube because I had already gotten rid of the box. Thankfully the tube held up and I was able to make it home safely. I snagged Hattie's tire and put it on my bike so I can still ride in tomorrow. (Hattie has the day off from work tomorrow, so no bike ride for her.) 

I think tomorrow is going to be another 9+ hour day at work. I guess the extra hours are good seeing how I have to buy more tires and tubes!!
