Back from Interbike…more on that later…but look at this
The official angry owner interbike blog will follow…maybe today…maybe not. It was a great time…and a lot of hard work. We’ll be back next year…but until then….
Props to my man Josh. A team rider, a sexy man, a good friend. He now has the title of largest rock gash I have ever seen in my 15 year career of repairing bicycles. Riding along Round valley, in the ‘loose’ section by old ranch road….and all of a sudden you hear that air leaving the tire sound…But its not loud and its really short. Meaning, HUGE puncture, right. Well dear friends, what happens when the rock rides off the rim and slashes the sidewall at the bead like some sort of horror movie villain? Well, Brian had some duct tape, and we were off and rolling after a sidewall repair. About 20 min later, the 2 inch gash was 3 or 4. Jesus Fucking Christ? Whats a man to do. The group toyed with the idea of just calling it a day and everybody walking it in. After all, we weren’t that far out. But, hey, one more try wouldn’t hurt. So, we stuff the rest of the little duct tape roll and 2 wrappers inside that tire just so, and lo and behold, we all made it back into town. Yippie. Some days you win, some days you loose…and I’ll take all the wins I can get. Check out the rock gash in the tire.
