Pop, walk, and great service

Mundelein'sFriday football against Buffalo Grove was rescheduled to Saturday afternoon so I agreed to help take tickets. Traffic would be heavy. I could not think of a reason not to ride. I left early and although my computer is not set right the timer works and I made it in less than 30 minutes. The game went fine (not that I could see it). Since I don't think I ever went to a game as a student you can guess that I coped with that OK.
I got very sunburned at a ticket table but all was well. I was pushing it to try for 30-40 minutes on the way home. Upon crossing Fairfield I missed the cutout for the ramp and hit the corner hard. A loud Bang and Hiss followed and my front tire was instantly flat. I called my awesome wife and started walking. I could have made it home walking but I wanted to get to the shop and get that rim looked at before they closed. At the forest preserve exit my rescue crew intersected my path and had already put the rack on...perfect. Upon arriving home I darted to the shop and as usual (especially when you show in full gear) Tim and Larry got me in right away, swapped my tube and most importantly, trued my rim.
I have never had such a quick flat. If you never have had that happen, and you probably have, you know it is very loud. Keep those wheels spinning and pointed toward the ground.
