All week I had planned to go for a 30 miler on the weekend. Well when Sunday rolled around it could not have been a better day for a ride. Not a cloud in the sky and about 65 degrees. I hit the road at about 9:20AM. I left the apartment and headed out to the George Bush Library then swung back around to Agronomy Road. I weaved my way to Wellborn then Villa Maria. Finally I got out to 47 and did a couple miles out there before doubling back and heading through campus again then out to highway 6. From 6 I went out to Harvey Mitchell then headed home. Outstanding ride. I saw so much of Brazos county! So you think...30 miles. Ya I'll just bust that out. Reality check! It took me 2 hours and 20 minutes. So, doing about 90 miles each day for the MS150 is going to be a serious feat! I'm excited though.Luckily this ride I managed to be flat free too. Last week I took my bike into Aggieland Cycling because I kept getting flats and I couldn't find anything in my tire that might be causing them. After a little investigation one of the guys found a tiny piece of glass embedded in the tire. You couldn't see it until you stretched the tire a little bit. Anyways, we got that solved and they installed a kevlar strip in my front tire, which gives the tube greater protection. It certainly helped. I wish all rides could be as wonderful as today's!
