We're halfway through Morton Jim says he thinks he's getting a flat... he rides it out for a bit but is forced to stop to change a tube. Two tubes and 20 minutes later, the repair was finally made after everyone got in and gave Jim a hand. At one point Jim and Ali were utilizing their greatest skill - a quick jerking motion to attempt to inflate the tire with a manual pump. Good thing they get so much practice as they were able to get the tire good and hard! We then did one lap at Malden of the race course and called it a night.
Also after teasing the gang with a potential barbecue Ali decided to wait until the rest of you slackers show up so everyone can benefit, possibly next week. Thanks to Jim who ran out to Capri and spoiled the gang with pizza following the ride as everyone was hungry. Also thanks to Dave for providing his long overdue case of beer.
Up next for beers is Ian, Rob then Matt. Ian please let us know if you can attend, and if not drop it off at Ali's if possible through the week.
We will also have to discuss when to push the rides back to 6:30 and do a full ride in the dark. One more week at 6? Lets figure it out guys.
I can agree that they were very good at that quick, hand jerking motion, however I won't speculate further. Thanks to Jim for the awesome pizza. I say we move it back to 6:30 and go full lights.
ReplyDeletealso, take a look at last year's post around the same time. We had 11 more rides in. And beer was an issue then.
