Notes

The plan was to ride at least 20 miles going out to Cosmo Park and back. At 4 miles, I had a flat on the front tire. This is the first time I have had a flat on the road. I've had flats before but before I started out riding. I had it changed in less than 10 min but struggled getting air into it with the crappy pump. I thought I had put a CO2 pump kit in my tool kit that I bought last year to replace this pump but had not. I managed to get about 30 lbs in the tire with crappy pump. It needed 100 lbs, but was able to ride home no problem and pump it up. I put in new tube and the CO2 kit in my tool kit. I hadn't even taken the CO2 kit out of the package.

I went back out and decided to only go 16 miles since I had wasted so much time with the tire and I wanted to have time to run. It was so humid on this ride that I actually felt sweaty even though I didn't ride too fast most of the time.
