Biking Chronicles No. 14

Total miles: 502.36

I found a wallet lying on the middle of the street this morning as I was doing my routine road-biking; the wallet had a driver’s license, a couple of credit cards, and some cash.  I returned the wallet to its rightful owner and got a decent reward from it.  I didn’t want to accept it because I just did what most human beings would do…but the owner insisted, “That’s the thing; it could been found by somebody who would opt NOT to return it.”  It’s hard to argue with that, ‘no?

I went to Mercer County Park again with my usual bike buddies last weekend, and guess what happened?  Another flat tire.  Jeez.  Maxxis Ridgelines REALLY suck.  So the next day, I bought a new pair of tires.  I was contemplating on getting Panaracer Fire XCs, but the stuff I’m reading about fake Fire XCs is a bit disconcerting.  My bike buddy steered me (pun LOL?) towards getting Kenda Small Blocks based on the environment my bike is usually in (which is um…the garage?)…which is mostly cross-country with very little climbing and/or downhill.  The Kendas has a decent amount of good reviews, so I pulled the trigger and got myself a pair of 2.1s (instead of the recommended 2.35…simply because I find the stock Ridgeline 2.2s too fat already).
