The Love Affair is over!
Grand Bois Hetres.

Went for a sunset ride up Haines Canyon which was a great climb and watched the Sun set over Los Angeles. While rolling fast down hill I heard an ugly sound not just your everyday flat but a major blow out! I was about a half mile from home and decided to hoof it home. Pulled the rear wheel off the bike to inspect and I found what I expected. I'll really miss these tires as they rolled fast and cornered really well but they just don't hold up to the type of trails I ride. The search continues for a fast but slash resistant tire.
Here's the Sunset from earlier.
