I rode from home> at SB Mission Met Up with Spenser G., Jill M., and Kathy V.> rode up Gibraltar> westward on Camino Cielo> down Painted Cave> out Cathedral Oaks to Fairview. Thank you God, for waiting until we were down off the mountain for Spenser’s flat #1. (He was strong paced on the tough Gibby Loop. His first cycling loop and he kept up and lead part way with no complaints.) Spenser’s flat #2 getting out of the Goleta (Hollister Ave) VeloPro bicycle shop. His flat #3 at Sandspit Road near the Airport. Back at VeloPro he bought a new tire & tube. Hunger lead us to Cody’s Restaurant for lunch. Then on home, with sound tires and no more flats.
