I always ride with a pump, patch kit, etc. Of course the one time I forget I'm left stranded miles from home wearing biking shoes and with a couple of friends who I'm trying to encourage to ride more often.

We enjoyed a wonderful ride from Dempster to CBG and back. Unfortunately, I got "snake bite", and lost all my air, but it was well worth it - Leah (I believe it was you!) was very helpful and pulled over with the group to assist. My apologies to Leah, and the group for holding you up. I ended up getting picked up from a friend, but in the end it was worth it because I got to learn of this great website!

Happy riding everyone, and thanks again! Leah, keep up the good work!
