2010-11-11 - Holiday Thursday Sunday Ride

[sylvan]

It was a relatively large and diverse group today. We paused at Mattick's farm for a moment of silence in memory of... legendary Seattle Mariner play-by-play voice Dave Niehaus, who passed away yesterday. Barry had a blowout flat on Interurban. The front half of the pack didn't realize and continued the sprint train and Geoff took a glorious victory. After regrouping, coffee was had at Caffe Fantastico, where it did not smell like sh!t. It was cold, however, so we didn't stay long.

Kaboom!! That was a high speed blowout. Fortunately I was on level, dry pavement and there was a pullout conveniently placed where I needed it. I'll need a new tire as the one I am using has a bit of a hole in it. A boot might do, but it was time to get anew one anyways. Thanks Lindsay for picking up on the blowout flat and communicating same to the group. I'm still not sure what I hit but it did sound like a piece of metal strapping.
