... had a strawberry milkshake and it did not disappoint.
Scott got a flat about 10 miles out from the hotel in the heat of the afternoon. We would have been able to fix it quickly and keep rolling but it was a pretty brutal flat. The air escaped so fast I heard it while we were riding. He rode straight over a decent sized nail (I should have taken a picture) that poked all the way through his rim in multiple ...
