So if you didn't know, crazypop, couch_potato_no_more, and I were going to try and meet up today in langley for a ride.  Unfortunatly Couch_ had to take her son to the doctors today so wouldn't be able to give me a lift and I couldn't borrow my friends car so the ride was called off.

Couch_ was able to come out for a short ride in the morning so we decided to go to Stanley park and the first thing I tell her is that I was kind of glad we couldn't meet up with Crazypop cause my KrazyLegs are darn tired!!

nice day, nice ride right? well on our ride I get a flat in Stanley Park.  No problem, we'll just change it!

Spare tube #1)The valve blows as we finish pumping it up.
Spare tube #2) The valve blows as we finish pumping it up.
Spare tube #3) A friend's spare tube was too short so we couldn't even get the pumps on to blow it up

and we're out of spare tubes!! Couch_ has to head home to make it to the docs.  I start walking, and my other friend who was with us high tails it to the nearest bike shop to buy another tube! A nice guy in a truck gives me a lift out the park and we catch my friend on the way back to me from the bike shop.

Spare tube #4) Pinch flat as we pump it up!!!

Finally I just give up and walk pathetically the few more blocks back to the bike shop and actually get the 5th tube to work.....

If that's not Karma for missing our ride with Crazypop and payback for me being kinda thankful about it, I don't know what is!! 

feel free to laugh.. we were (in between the cursing

What the hell were you using? A hand pump or industrial compressor? Dude!

Crappy.

I have a monthly bus pass and always carry it. Once I was lucky that I was. But there aren't that many buses that go around Stanley Park, so it might not have helped.

I think you need a new pump.

I was wondering how you made out after I had to leave!  Luck was not with us (you) today!!!  btw - all three of us had pumps and we used all three - and all three of our spare tubes!

(and Jeni - Lol....I lost my driver's license somewhere along the way (I always bring it incase I need to be 'identified' - ick!)....I was wearing a new jacket and didn't realize I had all of my stuff in just a part of the jack liner and not an actual pocket- doh!!!  Luckily my phone and my keys made it home with me!)
