Finds from the Grind - Steel Plates

Steel Plates

Road construction gives me my own temporary cobbled sections. This same section gave me a pinch flat 2 weeks ago. Usually the crews make a little ramp of asphalt on the lips of these plates, but they haven't with the leading edge of this front plate. I hit that at over 20 miles an hour, and my back tire finally lost enough air for me notice it over a mile later. Not a fun way to start the morning workout. I guess it was "arm day", since I prefer to carry a hand pump...
