11/02/2006: "Danger on the freeway"
mood: Pissed
DAMN!!!!
I haven't been doing a lot of canyon carving lately, but Robyn is currently my only transportation. That means that she's my commuter too.
I had an unforetunate mishap happen this morning. I was on the freeway in the Carpool lane heading into work when I must have ran something over. I'm usually really good about watching the road surface but, I must have missed seeing whatever it was that I ran over. Whatever I hit not only punched a hole in my front tire, but the hole was punch all the way through my rim. 
In the process, whatever it was also ripped off my front fender and punched a hole in my radiator. 

I think the additional rim damaged was caused by me slowing down from 75mph and pulling off the freeway. 
I'm really glad that this happened while I was going straight. I hate to think of what could have happened if I had been in a turn when it happened. ![]()
I just found and bought a radiator off of Ebay. A my good friend Steve has located a dealer that will get my the front wheel at cost, now all I have to do is come up with the funds to pay for it. ![]()
I was just thinking about going to a nice ride this weekend too.
