Today's 45-mile training ride kinda sucked. There were 31 riders and between us, we had 11 flats! The rain kicked up (or down in the areas of falling rocks) a lot of debris. I got a flat just six blocks from the finish line. Needless to say, it was a slow one today. Because I have wiped out pretty hard on my bike in the past resulting in a permanent dent in my right hip area, I was apprehensive during the entire 45 miles.

I must have found some humor in deer poop today. When the weather is crappy, look at the crap in a whole new light.

I hosed down my bike and will thoroughly clean it tomorrow. That and I need to
fix the reason my chain sometimes falls off in the highest gear.
