When I went to a coffee club, SteveO gave me very cool orange valve stems to match my orange bike. Seems like it wasn’t but it must have been a few years ago, there were no masks. On January 1 this year, I headed out in search of a golden nugget. It was cold and wet and I gave up on my prospecting goal but before that happened I had a puncture. Jessica Hirschorn happened by and asked if I had everything I needed to make the repair. We chatted briefly comparing notes on our foul weather riding gear. 45Nrth boots were keeping our feet dry, Pearl Izumi lobster gloves were not keeping our hands dry. I finished the repair, packed up my tools, and the damaged tube and rolled off without my valve cap! Last week on a cherry blossom ride with most of Lynn Salvo’s Pacific Coast Ride Team (SAG driver Mary and riders Lynn and Kurt), I rode by the back door of the Washington Canoe Club where I had fixed my flat and I stopped to look. There it was lodged between the weathered boards of the little entranceway! This made me happy.
Thanks for reading!
