Crazy Ride Home
June 13th, 2007
The commute home was going as normal for most of the way until I got to Broomfield. I was totally zoned out thinking about some threading issues I am dealing with in NewsGator Go!. I usually solve all my hard problems on the bike by the way.
Anyway, I passed a rider and a second later heard him shout out, “hey how about letting me catch a draft - I just donated some blood”. I looked back and it was my buddy Patrick Cameron.
We rode along for a bit chatting about tech stuff and the upcoming Startup Weekend… rolling into Louisville I wasn’t paying attention and hit a large pothole… double puncture. That doesn’t happen often and that sucks. I only had one tube so put it on the back tire. Patrick had a patch kit and tried to patch up the other.  The first patch job failed; there was another hole. The second patch job failed too!
Turns out his wife was rolling out in the opposite direction and she had a spare tube - lucky me. I poached her tube (thank you again). Rolled home just in time to goof around and take a bath with the three kiddos. Nice!

Luck was definitely on your side.
… and that must be one big tub.

indeed!
… and yeh, the jumbo tub + 3 little kiddos + me makes for lots of fun and a solid mess!
