Helpful...On a more related note, I would like to thank some of the folks that I've encountered out on the trail recently. Alex saved my ride the other day. I was at Tranquility Sunday afternoon and was adding air to my slowly leaking tube (Fruita trip, 6 patches, for those that remember), using my small hand pump. Apparently, in all my maniacal fury, I managed to rip the valve stem out of the tube. I have to confess, I have not been to a bike shop to pick up tubes since the trip, so still no spare. I ran around the parking lot, asking everyone if they had a spare. Not looking good. Then Alex pulled up. He had an old 26" tube. It worked! YAY! Then someone said my name, and I looked around for a second, to find Skinny D. He was kind enough to lend me his floor pump. Thanks guys!
Tons of cool people have been out, the couple of times I've made it to the trail. Hopefully I'll get out a couple more times before the weather turns.
See you out there!
PS - Did I hear rumors of a Goathead Christmas Extravaganza??
