Jim and I took a ride on Mango Tango today. We had planned to ride about 30 miles, but alas, the condition of the roads here in West Michigan took its toll. We hit a couple of bad potholes and shortly after the 2nd one, KABOOM! Blowout. When we took the tire off the rim, we found that there were 2 places in the rim where it flared out - pothole damage. We were about 7 miles from home, so Jim called a taxi and came back with the rango. We went right out to our favorite bike shop in Holland and left it there for repairs. It needed a spring tune-up. Hopefully the rim can be fixed - rather pricey to replace it.
Anyhow, it was a beautiful day here. Depending on the thermometer you looked at, it was 63 - 67 degrees. Sunny and a slight breeze - beautiful! I even had the windows open upstairs this morning!
