Notes
Birthday Ride/Run...errr just ride.
Aaron and I planned a long brick for the day, 100 mile bike and 10 mile run...we like even numbers. We met up with the CK group and did about 30 with them. Turns out Lee and Lorenzo had a group going long too for IMTX, so we joined up with them after the CK ride and used their planned route. The ride was great....until I burned a hole in my rear tire by locking up my brakes to avoid a wreck! A biker 2 spots in front of me rapidly slowed and the rider between us swerved out of the way. Instinctively, I hit the brakes hard but locked my rear brake (just had the bike tuned yesterday). I thought I might try and boot the tire, but couldn't find a bottle an didn't have a knife on me anyway. I called up Rachel but couldn't get a hold of her, so I tried my parents and they came to my rescue! The birthday ride ended at 55 miles and I opted out of the run since I'd been inactive for about 2 hours by the time I made it back to my house.
Thankful it was only a tire problem and not a wreck!
