I TRIED THAT NEW FANGLED PUNCTURE PROOF TUBE WITH THE GOO IN IT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO FILL SMALL HOLES AND WHAT NOT. WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.THOSE KEVLAR TUBES ARE RALLY DURABLE AND GOT ME THIS FAR SO I AM GOING TO BUY SOME MORE OF THOSE WITHOUT A DOUBT.THE PUNCTURE PROOF ONES ARE HEAVIER THAN THE KEVLAR AS WELL.THEY ARE BOTH HEAVIER THAN REGULAR TUBES BY A DESCENT AMOUNT.

KAREN WENT UP 60 MILES TODAY.I ATE LUNCH AT A CREEK UNDER A BRIDGE OFF THE 54E LIKE A TROLL.ALMOST GOT BIT BY A DOG AND CHASED BY A COUPLE OTHERS.
