Flat Tires ACT II

You have got to kidding Me? Six BRAND NEW road tires but not ONE tube!? If this were a business, I'd have to fire someone... Good thing it's not 'cause that person would me. So I sliced a side wall the other night and lo and behold I'm out of tubes. I got home from work today and HAD to cut the grass. The next available time would have been Monday and you know I'm not bagging that shit. So I cut the grass, and at least that goes off without a hitch. Thanks to my 20 year old John Deere push mower. Believe it or not I'm actually a decent mechanic. Afterwards I drop into the HQ ( code for the CAT SIX RACING TEAM hang out, a.k.a. my garage ) and get going on what I figure will be a five minute tire change. Ten minutes later and I'm still looking for a tube. SIX new tires and not one freakin tube. WTF! Thankfully I remembered my training wheel in the basement and quickly remedied my situation. It's about 6:30 P.M. and I'm still jonesin' for a ride. I run upstairs change in to some hot, sexy spandex (Lycra, whatever...) and fly out of the garage. Down the road I go... My bike, HR monitor, and two water bottles. Hey, who needs spares when you're rollin' on sweet new rubber. Plus I just wanted to ride.
