Tires

My last couple of rides have not been as fast as I think they should have been, so I got to thinking...I wonder if the tire pressure would affect my speed. If I apply the same logic as how gas mileage suffers on my car if my tire pressure is not correct, it stands to reason, that if my bike tires were also a little on the low side, they would not turn as efficiently.

My pump is an old one that I got back in the 90's. It's hard to use and I can't seem to get the tires pumped up past 100 psi. Maybe it's time for a new pump...what's another $50 or so on this sport? LOL

I need to remember to sign up for Redman tomorrow, as it is the last day before the rates go up! Eeek...hope it is not a wasted $225.
