Not my afternoon for a ride…

My friend Jay called me for a ride today, and I thought it would be a great way to rack up some more kilometers for the Great Cycle Challenge. Even though I wasn’t feeling up to it, I convinced myself to push through—after all, you always feel better after getting some time on the bike.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned. I ended up with a flat tire and a shoe that blew out on me, which led to me having to call for a ride home. It’s tough when you try to do the right thing and your gear doesn’t cooperate. It looks like the whole “ride tubeless” idea wasn’t as foolproof as I had hoped!

There is always tomorrow!
