Blew Monday...yes that's what I meant

Last night I was prepping my bike for today's commute. I had covered every contingency...so I thought. As I was pumping up my rear tire, I accidentally sheared the presta valve. The children quickly vacated the area as Dad was not terribly happy. My backup bike is in the shop. No spare tube; Sunday night. My lovely wife so sweetly offered her bike. Yikes! After cranking the seat as high as possible it was still a tight fit. Oh, she has not gone clipless yet. Yes I mashed all 14 miles. I felt like I was crawling through mud. At mile 6 I had to pull over and...well...um...heave. Rehydrated and finished in downtown feeling pretty good about my accomplishment. I'm doing it again on Wednesday...on MY bike!
