After mounting new tire did PV Drive Loop. Stopped at coffee place in Redondo for soy latte and a bran muffin. A cool but pleasant ride. Too much traffic.

The new tire is smaller than the old and the No Flat Strip was fused at the overlap. I ended up cutting it. Now I will have to worry about whether or not the straight corners will harm the tube. The factory ends are nicely rounded. I mounted my backup regular tube and not the new "light" one. It worked fine today.
