A Mysterious Flat Tire

March 8, 2010,

After yesterday's hard Spinerval workout, I wanted today to be an easy ride. Weather was OK so I went outside around 11 for an easy ride. Nothing is easy when the wind is blowing. Today it was from the WNW so it was into my face the way out and OK on the way home. I was surprised that I was able to get my speed between 16 and 18 mph both ways. So I definitely most be getting stronger.

Something weird has been happening to my rear tire. My tire went flat the other day after I came in from my ride. I filled the tube with air and it seemed to be OK. After biking yesterday inside, it went flat again. The tube did not blow out, air just left. I changed the tire and put in a new tube last night. Today while riding home, the tire started to lose air and go flat. I made it home. But again it did not blow out. So if anyone knows the reason, why is the tire going flat? I am going to take it to the bike shop tomorrow morning and see if they have an answer.
