wrench


training ride tonight, left at 10 pm

single speed set and ready to rock, down oliver to harriet, around harriet and back through park at 52nd. 3 dismounts, a little grass, didn't try anything too interesting cause it was pitch black. at 55th and oliver hit a pothole and felt it, pinch flat, walked 15 blocks home. should have turned off at the creek and picked up an espresso instead of riding thru the pothole.

i packed a tube and CO2 inflater, but didn't pack a wrench to pull off the bolt-on rear wheel.
i added one to my bag as soon as i got home.

weather: 70 and partly cloudy
time: home by 11:15
