Flat tire in Penobsquis after only 13KM. I put a new one on but couldn't get my mini pump off and ruined the tube. So I call Christina to come and get me, which she does, and we go to Canadian Tire. They have one, Yay!! We go home, I some lunch, and then replace the tube. As I am am inspecting that the tire has seated properly I see damage to the sidewall of my tire. I must have hit the side of a sharp rock with the side of my tire. So I take the tube and tire off of the rim again and see if I have a suitable spare. I do. Now, the old tire and the new tube are on my bike and it is ready to go again. Fortunately, or per-arranged by God, Christina has to take 3 of our children to Quispamsis today for Orthodontist Appointments. While in the area she can stop at Bikes & Beans to see about a new tire. In the past I would just go to our Sussex bike shop, Outdoor Elements, but it has not re-opened since the fire last year.
Now to check the weather and hit the road.
