Little wind. Rode to SR56 to US301. A fair number of riders on the MUP. 
Rode to Starbucks. Realized I forgot my snack. I ordered a stroopwafel and a rice treat. I only ate the rice treat. 
I rode back on Eiland to SR54 to MPB. 
There were a few sprinkles. I would have welcomed more.

This was my second attempt today. I went out before 6 but only made it .67 miles when I heard a hiss. Not a snake but I flat tire. Damn. Since this was the second flat in two weeks, I figure it was time for a new tire. I was so close to home, I figured I would walk home and change the tube and put on a new tire. Except I couldn't get the dang thing on! The bead was so thick and my hands are not strong enough. I even looked on YouTube for any tricks I was missing. 

Oliver's, my local shop is closed on Sundays. I went down to REI and asked if they could help. Nathalia had some trouble but managed to get it on and they didn't charge me! (They asked if I was a member, which I am.) Oliver's would have charged me $10. It was worth the drive. Also I got to try Shake Shack. (It was OK). 

It was late in the day so hot and humid and windy. I wore my street clothes but did wear my gloves and helmet. 
One loop. 
9 miles.
