I drove Roe and Jim to our start point at the Children's Park on River just east of La Canada. Good turnout for the club w Lots of Vistoso Jerseys on the trail.
- I got a front flat (brand new tube w only 40 miles) on the south part of the Santa Cruz. I had a long thorn strait through my tire so I'll save the new tube and patch it. 9 guys stopped to help with the repair. What a bunch of really nice guys. (This was just before the lunch stop)
-I got a chance to use my new, very small, CO2 cartridge head. It worked perfectly by screwing it all the way down, putting it on the valve, then slightly unscrewing it to fill the tire. It held all the way home.
-Roe bought me a peach burrito & a coke for lunch.
-Jim, Roe and I stopped at Growlers for a beer and a snack. I had a great brown ale from Prescott. The owner came out and sat with us as we began to plan when to take the club there for lunch. It's by Kneaders on Oracle.
-It was a great day.
