Did You Bring a Tube With You?????

Rob smiling because he just made a lot of money

     It was an unfortunate lesson in supply and demand tonight (or as Dave calls it, "mountain bike economics") for one unprepared CRC rider.  Helmet? Check.  Shoes? Check.  Water?  Check.  Extra tube and pump? Che......  nope!  Instead this rider would rather pay outrageous trailside prices for a tube, pump, and tire lever (I know it was only needed it for a second, but remember, we charge by the hour) when he gets a flat.
      Fortunately for Jeremy I just happened to have my phone handy when he came down with an "illness" and couldn't ride.  Hhhhhmmmmm...... let's see, Jeremy has missed 2 rides in 2 years and suddenly he is sick on probably the only night he has to bring beer.  Isn't that convenient Adrian.... I mean Jeremy?  Lucky for him I stepped up and covered him.

      How the mighty have fallen.  In one night 3 of the 4 top attendance earners missed out.  And they missed out on a ton of singletrack.  Morton twice.  However, my computer said only 23 km.  It must have been a fast 23 km though as both Jim and Scotty went down.


     Next up for beer is Jeremy (unless he is "sick" again), then Rod (but I am guessing he is done for the season), Liam, Jim.  Don't forget Jacquesfest Olympic-style this Friday!
