The basement in Billie’s house could be a used bike shop. We were looking for gear I could use since I didn’t bring any and Billie and JD have lots of extra stuff.
There are 10 bicycle seats on the table. Lots of jerseys on the wall to the right. Many wheels on the floor. At the other end of the basement: bicycles not used any longer and onto the resale market soon. Need a bike anyone?
We’ll leave on our trip in a clean car.
A trip to the Cardinal Bicycles to pick up my Surly Troll – I was so lucky to get this bike because it was impossible to buy one anywhere. One of the guys at the bike shop wanted to sell his Surly Troll (his wife insisted he sell one bike in order to buy the next bike). My good fortune.
Donna is going with us. She came over last night for a tutorial on how to properly clean a bike – Billie’s an expert.
This morning, I rode the Roanoke River Greenway with JD. This was the first ride for the first volunteer Greenway Ambassador – JD. About 15 people were recently trained on how to do this job and received their identifying bright yellow vests.
Tomorrow we leave!
