Did I mention I hate Mondays?

Had a late start this morning, since my daughter was up late being crazy. Then on the way to work I get a pinch flat. I patch it, start riding and flat again, I look and the valve stem is partially seperated from the tube. So, luckily I was a few blocks from REI, which might as well be a mile with road shoes on. So I buy 2 tubes just because I had a feeling, it being Monday and all. I replace the tube get on my bike and start riding, I look down and there is a huge bubble in my sidewall. I fiddle with it for a bit and find that the bead is broken. So, I walk back to REI and drop $30+ on a Continental Duraskin +K tire. So, I get to work at 10:30 today, good way to start off the week... The plus side, it was not raining, it was actually really nice out... those clouds are looking ominous.

I am dissapointed at the tires that they put on the Felt S32. I paid $1200 for a new bike and it comes with $10 tires... I am going to replace the rear one too, just did not like REI's price...
