Reasons not to put on new tires the night before a brevet:

1. Ow, my hands.
2. If you screw it up, you're changing tires again in the morning.
3. Ow, my poor, poor hands.

Reasons to put on new tires the night before a brevet:

1. The first flat tire I had on last weekend's 300k.
2. The second flat tire I had on last weekend's 300k.
3. I completely failed to put them on between last weekend's 300k and last night.

At least my patient husband is around to drive me to the start, because I did not get up early enough for a tire change and the 16-17 miles to the new NER Concord start line. P.S. I know this is a dreadfully dull post in comparison to all the ride reports I haven't posted. And all the recipes I've made and meant to record. Ugh, I'm sorry.
