Pot holes

I am still feeling the effects of our miserable winter in the form of pot holes. I've had 3 flat tires on my bike in 2 days, 2 in one ride! Grrr..... Maybe this means I am supposed to actually learn how to change a flat myself. Or maybe it just means I need to get more practice batting my eyelashes and bribing guys to "help me" do it. They seem to enjoy it so really I'm doing them a favor too right?

Everyone please say a little prayer that this tube holds out until at least July 14th! I really don't want to change another one before the race (and certainly not during!!)
