Apparently this is not how one patches a tire<\/a><\/h2>\n

\nI recently got a patch kit because it was cheap and near the check out stand. I didn’t have a spare tube on this ride. I thought I was riding tubeless so I didn’t think to even check (this was my first mistake). No internet in the mountains and no instructions in the kit so this was my best guess. Rode the remaining 35 miles on this with top speeds of…<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTrek\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Boone CX bike is a marriage of their redesigned cyclocross geometry first seen in their Crockett aluminum cross bike and the vibration damping decoupler seen on the Domane road bike. Compared to prior offerings from the Waterloo, WI brand, steering is much more nimble and the overall feel of the bike is more race-oriented. Stands to reason as Katie Compton had design input on the Crockett and she…<\/p>\n

\nDecided to break out from Houston and get some riding in a new area of Texas by doing the Conquer The Coast ride in Corpus Christi.\u00c2\u00a0 The 65 mile course is a loop from downtown Corpus Christi through Port Aransas, Mustang Island, and back through Corpus Christi.\u00c2\u00a0 The ride included a ferry ride to get us from Aransas Pass to Port Aransas (a first for me on a ride).
