Man, I guess if you HAVE to get a flat tire, it might as well happen on a stormy day! My hike to Clark Peak was derailed by the discovery of a deflated rear tire late last night. Since one only has a small window of time to start hikes before afternoon storms, I had to scrap the trek and get my tire fixed.

But there is a silver lining! First off, it was a small puncture flat so the tire place (which I had never been to) fixed it for free! How cool was that?! Three cheers for Discount Tire of Boulder! Also, a rare 10 AM thunderstorm is bashing the Front Range now, meaning even if I had gotten up there, I'd be retreating from the storm.

So it's a writing day for me. Monday's rest day becomes Friday's hike! As for tomorrow, Bison Peak and Sunday I'll revisit Airplane Gully on Navajo Peak.
