WORK HAD BEEN BUSY, and we were in a groove at the end of the day.  Really cranking.  Nobody wanted to leave.

But, I'd promised Zanio I'd make it to the last Market Ride of the year.  It's a fun, flat, fast group ride that ends when we move our clocks forward 23 hrs on Sunday.

I suited up and scooted out.  The sun set and my lights lit.

Managed to get there just as they were finishing and heading to pizza at one of the guy's homes.

Then, pffffffft!, pffff, pffff, pffff, pfffffffffff...... ssssssss.  Front flat.

Good thing I got a flat now.  Who know's what kind of disaster I averted by getting off the road at that moment.  What a great time to practice my shade tree mechanics and be sure my MINI-RACEDAY is ready for Saturday's Nosco ride.

Perfect.
