Bike 4/12

I finally fixed the flat on my race bike. I tried patching the previous inner tube, but when I reinflated the tire the patch popped off a bit and the leak opened. Item learned: carry more inner tubes because the patch kit is unreliable. ;)

After that, I took off the tire and rim tape, scuffed the inside with some cloth to remove any crud that built up, and replaced the inner tube. Then I examined the tire but didn't see anything like a sliver of glass, that would explain this. If it goes flat again I suppose I'll just buy another tire.

Anyway, I was able to do 1:33 on the trainer, in the 39x15 at a cadence of 80-85 at 90 Watts, while watching After the Sunset.
