I am hating this right now. I have no idea what to do and I'm getting really frustrated. I don't know why I am having all this bike trouble. I put brand new tires on a week ago, ones that were recommend to me as the most durable by a bike shop back home. However, on today's ride I racked up because of my tires. It went like this: I used a biking trick to make a ripped tire last. I folded up a dollar bill and placed it against the rip on the inside of the tire. The fibers in the note are strong enough to hold. I made it twenty miles before getting a rear flat. As soon as I fixed that my front tire went flat. I pulled out two metal slivers and changed the tube. When I finished, I noticed that my back tire was flat, AGAIN. I was slowing my pace line down so I decided to pack it up. Something must be really wrong for all this to be happening, and I want a professional to look at my bike.
Again, no bike shop in Grants. I don't want to rack again, so when I had some spare time I completely disassembled my wheels and examined the rims, tires and tubes to find some sort of problem. After checking and cleaning, I pumped up new fresh tubes and we will see how far I get tomorrow. There will definitely be a bike shop in Albuquerque.
Dinner with the Kiwanis club. They did not stop bringing out food; hot dogs, hamburgers, chili, sandwiches, taquitos, and ice cream. We were grateful for the variety.
