Kombucha day...
I'm getting used to the taste.
Didn't notice the Mask Sign before...
Got a flat on the rear tire on the way back home.
Stopped at this area next to the bike path to do the repair.
Just finished replacing the rear inner tube.
The cause of the flat was a piece of glass that was imbedded in the rear tire & pushed in just enough to make a tiny puncture into the inner tube.
I took the piece of glass out of the tire tread & replaced the inner tube.
The old inner tube.
Had to use the tire levers to remove the tire.
Used the CO2 cartridge to inflate the tire.
I also carry a pair of rubber glove to keep my hands clean during such an occasion.
But the gloves were old and a bit too small so they tore during putting them on and doing the repair.
Got my hands somewhat greasy but I also carry a paper towel so was able to wipe off most of it.
The Santa Ana winds were blowing (meaning the wind is coming from the east/land-side and blowing out to the sea).
This is a "reverse" patter to the typical wind at the beach.
95% of the time, the wind is blowing in (coming from the ocean/west and blowing inland).
The water is on the right (just over the sand berms).
The flag at the lifeguard station near Marina Del Rey is blowing "out."
