Naked in the Rain

Rolled My Tubulars

Tonight was the first night riding with my new wheels. The tires glue on. They're called tubulars. You run them with nearly no air pressure and the mold to the ground providing superior turning ability. They're super Euro.

And when you've got a Hyundai 1.1 liter engine like myself, you need all the help you can get on a cyclocross course.

The downside to tubular is that they can come off if not glued on properly. Tonight, on one turn, both the front and rear came dislodged, sending me hard to the ground. Luckily it was a soccer field, so I was use to having my face in the grass.

Anyway, I'll be gluing these back up with @guerra's help this week.
