Today is work on bikes day! Off to town to get things we need, then we’ll return to do the work.

Walking through town, we saw this:

The cool part is it seems to be fully functional!

We were looking for breweries, and the distillery, found them, and then decided to get some lunch, as it had been a while since breakfast. Saw a lot of places, but the desire to try a Moonlight Pizza overcame us, so we returned. We ordered the T-Guns – Special red sauce, tomatoes, spinach, pepperoni, cream cheese and jalapeños. Wow! We have a NEW winner! THIS is the best pizza I’ve EVER had, never mind the tour. The crust is what makes it. It’s a thin crust, but airy, yet it still tastes like the bread ones I’ve always liked. Look:

And here’s a close-up of a slice:

Heaven on a plate! We’ll be back to try some of the others, I guarantee. Since it was before happy hour (half-price pints), we had soft drinks. First round was a root beer for The Bear, and a ginger beer for me:

Mmmmmm … GOOD! A little bite to the ginger beer. All made with Salida water and cane sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup. For a second, I had the Vanilla Cream:

Yeah, I know, looks like it’s just water, but trust me, it did not taste like just water! On the way out, we picked up a growler of Smoked Stout for the road – 64oz of wonderful stout for $9! Ok, it was an extra $4 for the growler itself, but after that, refills are just $9! For a half-gallon of beer! Woohoo!

Ok, time for something stronger to drink, so off we go to find Elevation Beer Co. It’s on the way home, so we whip in and have a couple of brews, I have the Lil Mo’ Porter, and The Bear has a Señorita, also a porter – the weird part is that while it is smaller, as you might expect  (considering the name), it is stronger (alcohol-wise). Go figure. Here they are:

Good stuff! After that we head home to work on the bikes.

We start with The Bear’s bike, front tire change-out, but soon realize that our floor pump, even though it’s a high-volume one, does not seat the bead on the tubeless tire. AHA! But I have a compressor! True – but what I don’t have is a Schrader-to-Presta adapter. Damn!

Off to Walmart it is, where we find our adapter and a lot of candy to soothe our pains. We return only to find yet another setback. Yes, I have a compressor, but it still cannot put out enough volume of air to seat the beads. Double damn! I guess it’s off to the bike shop tomorrow.
