Be Prepared

Just like a boy scout, always be prepared. I went biking with a friend from the gym this morning. We biked the trail from Old Ashburn to the Bike & Bean and back which is just over 50K. After getting a snack at the Bean, we left and were about 4.5K into our return trip when Ryan’s pedal control arm came lose and fell off. While we both spend considerable time on our bike, neither one of us had the required multi tool to fix the problem. So back to the Bean ( which is a cafe and bike shop) to fix the problem. Luckily the 4.5K that we had to coast Ryan’s bike there was all down hill.

Biking, like most other activities requires you to be prepared. Your car ( most do) has a spare tire and wheel change kit. You shouldn’t leave your house without your wallet, glasses, keys or phone. Just like buying a house, you should not go house hunting without first getting pre approved.

Today I am thankful for a quick down hill trip to the bean to get Ryan’s bike fixed, perfect weather for a long Saturday morning bike ride and making it back home just in time for a virtual client meeting.
