Wow, what a day!!!!! Started at 730AM this morning and ended around 8:00PM, oh and it was 37 degrees when we started out.....thank God for electrics! We got a lot of riding in and about the last 15 clicks were asphalt, very nice surprise since it was dark out. Pictures are uploading now so maybe something tomorrow morning.
Here is a little something to tide you over until tomorrow......I have been told to not look at other peoples bikes because I always find something wrong. I pull up next to Lakota and look over and see this. It seems to be holding air just fine but it is a sizeable dent. His bike came with tire pressure monitors so he is keeping a close eye on it, it hasn't lost any air yet.

Here is the tough part about the rim, these are the new style with the valve stem cast into the spoke and not in the rim section itself. So if it doesn't hold air you have two choices as I see it; heat it and try to beat it back in place or you will have to drill the rim so you can install a tube....I didn't bring a drill and bits with me or a torch.
