Grrr.... Biked to work this morning, which was a wonderful morning. Sun rose at 5:07 AM, no wind that I felt, or perhaps a small tailwind. Made really good time, but didn't see any deer this morning. Since I repaired a flat tire last night, and the experience with the previous flat tire, I was suspicous about its cause. I checked it at lunch and found it was flat again! Got a ride home, along with the bike, and then took the wheel to Tony's. Turned out that the rubber strip that runs below the tube had a hole that allowed the tube to go into the hole leading to the spokes. This apparently popped the tube.

They put in a new fabric strip in place of the rubber strip, and I bought a couple of new tubes, a strip for the front rim (just in case), and should be ready to go.
