It was a little cool this morning so I delayed my start until 9:45. By then the temperature was 65 degrees so I did not need the leg warmers but I did use two jerseys. Speaking of jerseys I ordered the <a title=\"http:\/\/peopleforbikes.org\" href=\"http:\/\/peopleforbikes.org\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>People for Bikes<\/strong><\/a> jersey from their website. This is a good looking jersey and half of the cost goes to support the People for Bikes program. I had a news article about their reaching 100,000 supporters earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like our clear blue skies will be ending Monday or Tuesday but I sure did enjoy them today and the gentle 6 mph breeze was just enough to keep me cool as I rode.<\/p>\n<p>Now about the pesky rear tire leak. When I started to leave the Valero station on FM1314 after a break I noticed the rear tire was soft. I was thinking this was a pain, which it is, but I have not had a flat in several months so this is due. I removed the tube and pumped it up to find the hole but I could not find any so I put the tube back in the tire, pumped it up and waited a couple minutes to see if there was any air loss. There did not seem to be any so I left to finish the ride. About 5 miles later I noticed the tire going soft again so I repeated the exercise again without finding a hole. This time I put my spare tube in, aired it up and took off. No more problem. When I got home I filled the sink up with water to try to find the hole but before I could walk to the sink I found the leak. Patched the hole and the tube is now my spare one.<\/p>\n<p>No other bikers spotted today so I was the lone ranger.
