Racing

Every morning before i start a ride i top up the air pressure in my tires. They tend to deflate about 15psi every day so its pretty important to avoid flats. This morning i went to inflate my tires and i broke the valve stem off my tire. This caused it to lose all of its air so i had to change the tube. This wasnt that big of a deal so i put a new tube in, as soon as i started filling this tube it got a flat. It popped at the valve, manufacturing defect... So onto tube number 3. I put it in and pumped it up and it was fine.

Now john and i decided we wanted to go fast. Alex and Kyle decided that this sounded fun so we took off going around 30k an hour. We made it a whole 1km before the dreadful sound hit. PSSSSSSSSSSS and my tire goes again... This time it went to the dreaded thorn called the goathead... So we changed this tire and got back on the road. At about halfway Kyle and Alex decided they didnt want to keep on racing so they droped out but we met up with Lawrance and he decided he wanted in. We were hauling agaisnt the headwind. If i wasnt so stuborn i would have droped out but i hate losing. lol.

We ended up getting to camp by around 1:00 with an average speed of 32.5 my fastest day of the tour. It was so fun.

I'm not very smart. Debatably the hardest day of the tour is tomorrow. 156km with a ton of climbing. The last aproximately 40km is uphill. Deathhhhhhhhh lol.
