Adam gets road rash

   Ok, first of all, this is no April Fools joke. Second, Adam is ok. Third, good samaritans abound. So, here’s what happened. We went to the training race, and found the front tire very low. Must be an overnight leak, so I pumped up it up and POW, the tube blew well before we got close to specified pressure. So I do a fast tube change for him, but it is really hard to put the tire back on these semi-aero rims, and I must have pinched the new tube putting it on, because it would not hold any pressure at all. So, we went to see if we could borrow a wheel. Sure enough, one of the guys glady handed over his front rim. His name was Josh.
   So Adam starts riding fast laps with the other youth. I got one good picture here
, and set up the video camera for the next lap. They come flying around the corner, wheels get crossed, and Adam goes down! He scraped up his elbow and his tummy. One of the guys brings out the first aid kit and I clean and patch him up. The youth team waits for us, and when Adam is ready, they all take off again.
   A couple of laps later, they stop and do a time trial followed by a handicap race. Adam elects to tough it out for the time trial, but opts not to race, as he is getting sore. So we walk over to Josh, whom we think has been patiently waiting for us. It turns out that Josh spent the time by changing the flat tire! Adam’s front wheel is good to go, and Josh says he’s not surprised my attempt failed because it was really hard to get the tire on without pinching the new tube again. Wow, what a nice group this is. New bike, free flat fixing, and the team waits while Adam get patched up. This group really supports the kids.
   Cyndi will try to get something in tonight about Aaron and Arianna doing Easter Eggs with her yesterday. Adam will try to get his web page up also.
