DONNA WITH HER GROOVE BACK
Hello everyone…I tell you, it just keeps getting better. All of you members and friends out there who plan on taking a tour with us should be glad we’re working out the kinks on this one.
Let me tell you HOW DONNA GOT HER GROOVE BACK today. We headed out this morning from our hotel, through the heavy traffic and got almost to the entrance of the Trace when something started “pinging” on my front tire….BIG pinging…so we stopped at nearby “gym” and the guy told us there was a bike store about 3 miles back the way we came. Donna kept trying to convince me that it would be fine (because she didn’t want to ride all the way back), but knowing that we wouldn’t be near another shop, we finally agreed to go.
We get to the shop and my disc on my brake is the problem…sweet Daniel at Indian Bikes and Fitness (awesome bike shop), got me rolling again. And just as we are headed out the door I asked him to check Donna’s back tire because I noticed it seemed to be really low.
Now, keep in mind that each tire should have about 80 lbs of air pressure in it…so Daniel puts on the gage and guess what???? Both of Donna’s tires had 20 lbs of pressure in them….all of the guys in the shop were freaking out asking how long we’d been riding like that, etc…when we told them, they said Donna had been working about 3 times as hard as she needed to work. Mine were low too (60 psi) but no where near as low as Donna’s – no wonder she has been feeling like every mile is ten.
So, what does that mean for me? Now that Donna got her groove back, she wants to keep going for another week. She rode like the wind today, panniers and all.
