Ty, Chris G. ran over the same rubber-piercing shrapnel and was reduced to waddling along Olive Branch with disabled conveyance in tow. I simply waved at him and rode on by...
No, not really. He told me about the tacks and that his front tire slowly went flat. He was struggling to keep up, and he discovered that it is difficult to ride fast on your rims. Anyway, his son showed up to take him safely home. I continued my 30+ pace up Olive Branch. I hope that it wasn't sabotage since those tacks just happen to be in an area where cyclists' are known to frequent. But, I will not be misanthropic...I am sure that they fell out of someone's vehicle unbeknownst to the occupants. Their back window happened to be open and there was an open box of tacks sitting near the window, and, along comes a strong wind and out they went. Personally, I think that both you and Chris are strong enough to have hung with Logan, Keil, Steve, and the boys sans pneumatics. It would have been great training... ---- Tyler Christenson <[email protected]> wrote: > Just wondering if anyone else on the ride tonight got any flats or if I was > the only one that managed to catch three different thumb tacks. > > On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 8:50 AM, Oak City Homes <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Not sure how many of you got up to WF this Sun. to watch the crit, but > > David LeDuc did a break away in the masters division that was truely amazing > > considering the riders who were in the pack. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> > > To: "Gyros" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 9:00 PM > > Subject: [Gyros: 15480] Tuesday ride 5/25/1...@5:45pm > > > > > > > > > > We need to see if watching the Giro d'Italia and Tour of California has > > inspired a few of our top guns to take the group to the next level.
