White Rock On!

Since it's spring break I've been home in Dallas for a few days. With the miles and miles of highways and busy streets in DFW, it's difficult to find a safe area to ride for a long distance. So I did what most serious cyclists in Dallas do and that is to go down to White Rock and ride around the lake. The lake is 9.3 miles and this past weekend I was trying to go for a 40 miler. So, it took 4 laps and then a little bit to complete the full forty. I did it and it was outstanding. But, before the ride even started I had to deal with a not so fun reality. When I got down to White Rock I parallel parked down by West Lawther. Well I get out of the car and then go to pull out my pump to get my tires reloaded with air. Right as I come around to the passenger side of my jeep I hear this pretty loud whistling, and I look down at my front right tire and sure enough its losing air. I just sat there and watched it go completely flat. I had to laugh. The number of flats I've had lately, between my bike and jeep, probably outnumbers my limbs. Or atleast it feels like it. Well the whole family was busy with this or that, so I called mom and said, how about I go ahead and ride then when y'all have a chance to come down here we'll deal with it. The ride took about 3 hours. Then mom, my Aunt Leila (who is in town right now) and my brother came down. Kyle fixed the flat, and taught me how so next I could do it myself! So, it turned out to be an okay day with an outstanding ride around the lake...four times.
