there ARE cats in america, and the streets are paved with glass*

Another flat... hoo-frickin-ray. This one at least had the good sense to occur right beside my apartment at the end of my ride. This is my third (well second... one was actually a continuation of the first, and my own fault) in two weeks... I'm definitely going to have to do something...

On the other hand, getting a flat and wiping out was something I worried about, but I have yet to have a front wheel flat, that might be different, but I think I can handle it with out getting too cocky about it

I also really studied the Maricopa Association of Governors (MAG) bike map before I left, and planned a route, while I didn't follow it exactly, it really helped to know where the bike lanes started and ended... really nice

Lessons Learned:

1. flats aren't too bad
2. Planning your route ahead of time makes a really nice ride
