Slow leak inner tube
That inner tube I used to fix my rear tire yesterday had a slow leak, woke to a flat tire.
Picked up 2 inner tubes at Ultimate Bicycle, had to wait till 12 o’clock for the store to open. What’s up with Walmart, they only carry Schrader tipped inner tubes in store but they entice you online with Presta offerings.
Did 9 miles in the McAlpine’s main trail between Sardis and Monroe, mostly flat but bumpy. Finished off with 5 hilly miles around the hood, granny gear on some of them there hills.
distance 14.04 miles, average speed 12.5 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
