Today, we ride! Finally! Pull the bikes out – it’s been a while! The Bear’s front wheel needs air, but we’re not surprised … it’s been a while! Get everything aired up, and head out! Down the dirt road a bit, to the bathrooms, then hang a left to get into the trail … “Bill … BILL!!!”. Damn. Now what? Her front tire is low. “I thought you aired it up?”. Back to the truck. Air it up, and it’s leaking … maybe it needs more Stan’s. Let all the air out, pop the bead, pour in some Stan’s, air it back up. Spin it to spread the Stan’s … and it starts coming out between the rim and the spoke nipples. Great. Rim tape is bad, and we don’t have any. Just lovely. Well, I did get to ride about a quarter of a mile.
In to town to get some other stuff taken care of, and then come back to get ready to move tomorrow. It has GOT to get better.
Ok, promised a shot of my battery switch when I got done:
You can just barely see it poking up top of the right battery. What a crappy photo! Too bright to see what I was doing. I’ll do another later.
