07-19-2014 Ride

Frustrating day for me.  I was planning on getting out early for a ride before meeting up with Dave, John, and Jim at Jim's house.  When I went into the garage, I had a rear flat, so I fixed it with a tube that had been patched but looked okay.  It also had a slow leak, so I replaced it with another one, again patched, and started my ride.  I headed up through the neighborhood to RB Rd stayed on it through the intersection at Camino del Norte, where it turns into Lone Quail Rd.  I rode up to Dove Canyon Rd, then turned left and noticed that my rear tire was going flat.  I stopped at the intersection with Camino del Norte and fixed it, then headed back at a hurry to meet up with the others.  It wasn't too much longer that my rear tire went flat, so I coasted to the intersection with RB Rd and called Ann to ask her to come pick me up.  Done for the day.

Avg speed = 14 mph. Total mileage = 4.8 mi
