GCCers,

Well, thanks to the 7:15 effort of Team CycleLogic/Asian Tiger I got
back into the ride after two pre-ride flats.  After a third, Dennis G.
and I rocked it home for a 60 mile day.  Thanks for all the CO2s and
tubes, folks, make sure to hit me up next ride or time in shop.

Advice:  CO2 is a bad technology to rely on fixing flats.  Everyone
should have a high pressure frame pump with a hose.  Hoses prevent
stem breakage.  Also necessary:

at least two tubes
dollar bill for a boot (which cured my problem)
dollar in change for cell phone
ten dollar bill for a hitch home from a trusty driver when all fails
five dollar bill for food and beverage after getting dropped/bonking

My Two Cents,

James T.

P. S. Daryll, you were right, I do need to find a new mechanic.  Can't
believe I missed that hole twice.
