I slowed to a stop raising my right hand to signal the Shimano neutral support car to stop (oh, wait they are busy in Italy and Spain) but they didn&#8217;t appear to swap my rear tire. The two other cyclists riding west on the opposite of the causeway didn&#8217;t see me either as they away. I made the decision to walk about 7\/10 of a mile to The Cedar restaurant to patch the rear tire. Before walking I turned the rear wheel to find the culprit that caused this and found a big screw sticking out of the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bike ride began at 11:28 AM after I watched the Giro d&#8217;Italia and Vuelta a Espana races. For a little variety I chose to ride my &#8220;Atascocita South &#8211; Walden &#8211; FM 2100&#8221; route which resembles the &#8220;Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman&#8221; route except for not riding north on FM 2100 due to road construction. My bike choice was the Lynskey R300. I thought the ride would be 32 miles long but adding some different streets in the beginning stretched the distance to <strong>34.43 miles<\/strong>. After 2 rides this week I am up to <strong>71.76 miles<\/strong>, heading to another 200 mile week if no interruptions happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I reached The Cedar restaurant to work on the rear tire I found a shady spot in the parking lot. Gathering my tools, pump, and patch kit I removed the rear tire. I pulled the screw out of the tire, used the tire levers to get the tube where the hole(s) were which was just a few inches from the valve stem. Opening the patch kit didn&#8217;t encourage me because the tube of glue looked old and bad. Inspecting the tube I found 2 holes on opposite sides of the tube. This made patching them tricky. Roughing up the tube surface at both spots I squeezed some not good looking glue onto the biggest hole spreading it around. Letting the glue dry I applied a patch, pressed it firmly and it looked okay. Repeating the process on the other hole I use a smaller patch. Optimistically I put the tube back in the tire, mounted the tire bead and pumped up the tire. At first it looked like the patches worked but I squeezed the tire and it was not as firm as it was. The only option left was to replace the tube which I did. This went much better and the tire was firm. During this process the right side nut of the thru-axle came loose and fell on the ground. Fortunately it was shinny and easy to find. Not sure why it was so loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back on the road the rear tire had a noticeable thump on each revolution from a previous sidewall cut flat. Also while fixing the flat I found a spot on the rear tire tread surface with thread showing. Later today I will replace the tires on the Lynskey. They lasted 2,566 miles which for OEM tires is pretty good for me. On my Stradalli bike I replaced the original tires just a couple of days after I started riding it because they were too delicate for the roads I bike on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the flat the bike ride went as planned until I finished at 3:01 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully the weather was good for biking with the flat issue. Up to the point of the flat I was riding a quick pace (for me) and my average speed was improving. I built it up to 14.3 mph and stayed there until returning to Kingwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions: start 85 (72% humidity, 75 dew point), mostly cloudy, wind E 6 mph. Finish 85 (71% humidity, 74.6 dew point), partly cloudy, wind E 13 mph. The tailwind riding back to Kingwood helped get me there quicker. Short sleeve jersey and arm sleeves were just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking at the ride data from Golden Cheetah lap 4 time ballooned while I worked on the rear tire. 32% of the ride I was in power zones 3 and 4. Zone 5 was 10% which is higher than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
