PM: Thursday Night Dirt - 3 hours 8' on the fat bike.
I wasn't sure I was going to make it in time, but my last class got out a few minutes early and I pretty much had everything ready to go, so I got moving pretty quickly once I got home. Ended up having plenty of time and caught the group coming up Sheldon.
A good ride, though I must have been tired as I was trying to turn too early several times. I hit the hill fairly hard, beating most of the group up them, including being just off the wheel of several folks who couldn't bear to have a guy on a pink and purple fat bike on the Dequindre Hill. If I had had a little bit better legs, they wouldn't have beat me.
Loop Data: 25.7 miles in 1:24:41 (18.2 MPH). 234W. HR 158.
Chatted in the parking lot for a little while, then a slow roll home. I wondered why I was going 7-8 MPH and putting down power and then realized my rear tire was flat. Hit it with a C02, which helped but didn't get it fully inflated. Continued to limp home. I think the valve stem was loose.
Bike shop called and my gravel bike is fixed. $100, so not bad at all.
