Well, Summer is officially here. I woke up looking forward to a 35 mile ride this morning and when I looked outside, the streets were soaking wet. I was a little tardy on ordering some new tires as the rear on my bike is quite worn and has very little tread left on it and surely it is ripe for a puncture. Seeing how I have to ride down a long hill with lots of turns to get out of here, I think I will wait until this afternoon to go for a ride. Hopefully, the wind will stay down long enough for me to get out there and come back. I did however stock up for some Summer cycling tune-up essentials. I bought two Continental Grand-Prix tires, new brake pads (for dry and wet weather), tubes, air cartridges, and a dry/wet jacket.
