Notes on the day: I flatted tonight. First on the raod flat in over two years. Nothing like changing a tube with 40 people standing around waiting on you to get it done quickly 
Skip was dishing out the smack from the background and I believe he had his first “Karma” flat about 5 miles further down the road when his tire delaminated from the casing and had to call for a ride. Jasker, Mike McKay and myself waited until we were sure Skip had a ride on the way… The right thing to do but the main group had continued about 3-4 minutes earlier than the three of us and we foolishly tried to rejoin the group beat ourselves into the group. We actually caught the remnants of the group near the Kzoo river on 58th street. I had a great ride overall but had some serious acid in the upper quads when I got home. I probably should had went out for 3-4 mile easy spin just to work the acid out but decided to meet a friend for dinner instead.
