    I don't think it helps that I decided to try to upgrade the Surly to some brifters, so it's up on the stand half-assembled right now. It's got the fenders. That guaranteed that we'd get our first rain in the past couple of months, and that's just washing all sorts of nasty shit into the roadways. That and the Surly has those bomb-proof commuting tires on it, the Roubaix has some Mavic Yksion tiny-thin-slick-punctured-by- I didn't even check the flat tonight, it happened close to home, so I just rolled up, put the bike away, and will look at it in the morning. I am kicking myself for not buying a replacement tube on the way home like I was considering, though...

    At any rate, all I'm really doing is bitching, as it took my wife over an hour to drive home tonight, and I still made it home in about half an hour, like I always do.

    For the Surly, Schwalbe Marathon Supreme HS 382. Best touring tire. Zero flats so far.

    For my Surly, the most load it's seen is probably somewhere around 260 lbs. When it flatted, it was loaded significantly less. My Roubaix is flatting when someone looks at it with a piercing stare.

    I really have no idea how to approach this level of mileage. But my girlfriend is doing a half marathon, and running is too much for my knees. I feel like I need to do something equivalent on the bike, which I really enjoy. But I'd rather not die.
