Battled 30 mph wind gusts today coming out of the SSW as I was riding NNW so at times it was a cross wind, headwind, and tailwind. It was my best friend and my worst enemy. I also saw miles and miles of nothing with the occasional field of cows. It was actually very beautiful out there and an absolute blast when the wind was at my back, I could average about 25 with ease.
While here in Champaign I took my bike the Champaign Cycle https://www.facebook.com/champaign.cycle?fref=ts to get new tires. I had started to ware holes in mine...a picture below. When he took the back tire off I had realized that I patched the tube over a year ago and it had survived until now. Its good to know those patch kits actually do a phenomenal job. With fresh tires and a super clean chain and derail-er I'll be back at it tomorrow to bike 92 miles to Peoria, IL. Thanks to Champaign Cycle for hooking me up with fresh tires!
