First race of the season and I get a flat tire, - Race update #1

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. I have been in many races and heard the sound of a tire going flat on another racer and thought to myself "whew I am glad I am not that guy". Well I ended up being that guy. I didn't have spare wheels so I couldn't get back into the race.

Kay ser rah ser rah

No big deal this was a training race for one in two weeks in LA, and I am pleased with how I was riding up until I had the blow out.

I will try to keep you all updated throughout the season. See you on the flip side and keep spinning.

1. This forum was starting to grow cobwebs.

What can you say about flats?....Sucks.
I am not a racer, and I hate flats so much I ride on Kevlar street tires.

Winter is breaking here, though night temps are in the teens and we had two moderate snowstorms last week.
I shucked the studded tires, and rode on street tires for the first time in months on Monday....what a joy!

Since it is over a month since you posted, how was the race?
