What an interesting day... This afternoon I found out what the difference in tires is between 23X700 and 25X700. It seems the first number is the profile or height of the tire. Since I didn't know this I blindly purchased a "25" and found that is was rubbing big time. Worse still, I put the tire on last Thursday and rode over 70+ miles with it rubbing significantly. The whole time I thought pedaling was bit more challenging as a result of my flu.... talk about piling on (and I did it to myself!).
Today, Bob and I rode with one of my new mentees, Lili. The ride started with all of us going to the bike shop to get my tire fixed and borrow a wrench so that Lili could try out her new saddle. Once these chores were done we rode 23 miles and had a good time. The pace was pedestrian because we were all talking the whole time. Still, we all had a good time and the "work" of riding for the TNT cause was pushed forward.

Did you see the news piece of the recent pot farm bust along Calaveras Rd?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't see that news. However, it doesn't surprise me that people might try something elicit out there because I have never seen a police officer out on Calaveras.
