Rode on my rollers this morning for about 10 seconds before I realized I had a flat front tire. It was a slow leak at the stem so I just pumped it up for one last ride. Twenty-five minutes later I flatted the rear. It seems that my rim tape had a slight ridge that punctured the tube. Both tubes have multiple patches so I am headed down to the LBS tomorrow to purchase some new rim tape and 2 tubes.
More of an issue is that it is 20 degrees below normal temperatures here and we received our first accumulation of snowfall. This is the time of year that I dread. Not enough snow to get out the x-country skis and too much snow and ice to ride on the road. It does not look like it is going to warm up over the next week so I think I am now relegated to the rollers for awhile. It is too bad as now that I am living near the city there are a few good rides on the weekend. I really need to build up a single-speed for winter riding. Hope to do that in the next couple months.
Only 5 more months until race season so despite the flat tires and snow there is no excuses even in November...
