F*********CK!

So Kat and I met for a ride this morning. I like riding with her as it's intelligent conversation and every ride doesn't turn into a penis measuring contest, mostly because she doesn't have one. Don't be mistaken though, if she keeps her boney rear end on the saddle all winter, she'll hurt some feelings come springtime.
Anyway, out on Hartsville Guard, I had a blowout of epic proportions. Blew the sidewall clean away from the bead...no fixing that one. The H.O. was at work, so no go there. No reason to call anyone else, as they were all at work as well, so Kat's sister rolled all the way out into the base to ferry me home. Big ups to Macie for taking the time out of her day to make the save!
The 3 month old Vittoria OC CX is garbage and I wasted a spare tube and a CO2 cart...not a very cost effective 45 minutes on the bike this morning.
(4) Veloflex Corsa 22s and (4) Michelin Latex tubes are on the way from PBK.

Some of the pro dogs could learn some handling skills from this kid...

Off to the ManHole(tm) to get the Helium back together...
