Folks

Did I say how happy I am to see my sweet Mom and Stepdad?! And to eat
my Mom's pasta and pancakes! I don't want to leave! So I will
rest here for a day. I've missed my folks a bunch while living in the
far-away lands of Japan and Hawai'i for the last four years.
Jeff will continue riding with me for the next three days, so we will
look for a beefier tire for him tomorrow. His road racing tires are
fast and light, but too easily punctured, as evidenced by his 13
punctures compared to my bike's 1 flat, as its deeper treads kept
those blowout wires from penetrating to the inside of the tire. But
the bright side is that Jeff and I have become very efficient at
patching flats; we'd make a good race crew.

Have you guys thought about using tire liners for the racing tires? They really helped me. I only got 1 flat on my trip, but it was only 250 mi.
