Ride with Dave from his house. I left early and went down by the park and up Pomerado to the hospital, then turned around and headed to his house. Somewhere, I lost one of my short-finger gloves. We headed over to BVP, then up to East Valley Pkwy, which we took to Lake Wohlford Rd. By this time, it was warming up. I climbed up this grade fairly quickly, then Dave and I regrouped at the top and continued by the lake. My bike was making a lot of noise when I pedaled, and I thought it was either the pedals or the bottom bracket. Over to Woods Valley Rd, which we went down pretty quickly. A short climb up to the top of Valley Center Rd, then it was flying time coming down this grade. When we got to the bottom, I saw that I didn't have much time to get to the mall, where I was supposed to meet Ann and the Open Hearts Fellowship group for a hike. So we really pushed the pace on BVP. My bike felt like it was flexing during this part of the ride. Got to the mall, and I discovered that I had a slow leak in my rear tire, which is what I thought caused the flexing.
