Well, I made it 50 miles before racking with multiple flats. I guess the rim liner wasn't the key. I hate to rack but I feel its best for the team. Every time I get a flat, my paceline has to wait, and if that keeps happening everyone gets slowed down and I don't want them to get racked for time or slow their pace so I hop out. There was an ice arrival at city hall (apparently it is also the city fallout shelter) with water, friends, and a KOB. It was kind of awkward standing instead of riding in but I had fun hanging out with the little kids...until they told me I had "girl-eyes."
We stayed at Eastern New Mexico University. Confusing hallways but we got our own rooms. At the bike shop, I was told the rim was not a problem (now I'm really confused) so I bought a new tire. Drayton gave me a thick thorn-resistant tube so I have a very well protected wheel now. We'll see what happens.
Gant's mom sponsored a dinner and we went to Pizza Hut. The four slice limit sent us to Burger King after.

We're calling you "girl-eyes" from now on! Thanks, little kids!
