So much for the century. I know, call me stupid, call me whatever, but when you go out for 100 or so, you need to take a spare tire EVEN if you have tubulars. I didn't and paid the price. 53 miles into the ride, which was going quite well, my rear tire exploded. Not just flatted - EXPLODED. No spare, nothing anywhere. Thank goodness my ride pals decided to hang with me til we got to a nearby (5 miles) bike shop that...abandoned me. Yes, Val's bike shop in Katonah sucks -- they ultimately refused to put on a new tire (not glued, even).
Will continue the ride tomorrow. I know that's cheating, but...what the hell. Will run also for good measure -- and try again maybe next week.
