Sneaky Bastard

I was on a ride with some CVC folks yesterday. It was a wonderful day, and I had ambition to climb Rock Store. Unfortunately, I flatted out while being at the back of the group on Las Virgenes. I thought I could make a quick repair and catch up to the group on Mulholland. Turns out that I didn’t have a spare tube in my bag. I walked back to De Anza park to apply a tube patch. Although the Park Tool Super Patch is a great product, it was just too far gone. The nail went through both sides of the tube, and all the patches I had couldn’t seal it up. I started walking back to the truck, and fortunately another cyclist stopped and offered me a tube.

I stopped at the shop this morning and bought four new tubes. ;) I’ll be ready to hand one out to the next stranded cyclist I see.
