As reported yesterday, we ran to Laramie to get a professional tire fix performed on my buds bike. We rolled in to "TNT Cycles" of Laramie for a patch job.
The guys that run this place are totally awesome! If you ever need any level of service, these are the guys!
Anyway, they look over the bike / tire situation and tell us the bike must have a new tire. Just one little problem: they do not have one in stock of the correct size and it is still too early in the day for the other shop in town to open. So we think about a couple of options, think and think, wait for the other shop to open, and no luck. So what to do? I come up with the idea to ride to a BMW shop in Ft. Collins to get a tire and bring it back. I called the shop down there, yes they have what is needed, and I head off for a 140 mile round trip to snag a new tire. Got back to Laramie about 12:30, new tire in hand.
After a breakfast of "plain scooters" (do any of you know what those are???), I was famished for some food. The TNT got the bike running in quick order and we were ready to go - after lunch. Got some good mex in our bellies and finally hit the road at 2PM. We went to Walden, CO, changed our whole route and drove to Steamboat Springs for the revised route.
It was a beautiful, but windy, ride. We are safely here, ready for another adventure tomorrow.
