Pulled into the gas station at the intersection of Airport and Raleigh, after blowout #2. Bolt circles back to the gas station and offers to wait with me until my wifey arrives in the Tahoe with carrier attached. Couldn't reach her on the first two attempts, so we figured that was a good time as any to inspect the tube... waiting on her to call back. As Tim surmised in his report, culprit was a tire- tube-wheel pinch... that's what I get for being in a hurry trying to quickly install my spare tube in Tim's driveway. Chris kindly offered his spare. First time using my CO2 pump... remembering to use quick spurts and not one long blast.
Its was 6:45... what to do? Let's ride, we decided... so we headed down Target Hill, right on Merk, across 264, Bloomery Rd. Made the switchback onto Hornes Church and headed back looking to see if Wally's dog was out at Old Bailey... nope, no pooch. Right on 58 and cruised by DD. Ended at the house with a touch over 17 miles from the gas station, at a 18.6 avg. Had just enough light to make it safely up the driveway. Thanks again for the tube, Bolt! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
