Entry 20: My Luck Today Was Banana Pants Crazy Today! // Today Just Sucked!
So I almost forgot my helmet today leaving Adam & Sarah's house this morning. As I was closing the garage door on my way out. It stopped suddenly and if it hadnt, I wouldnt have noticed I left my helmet on the table so that was pretty lucky. I found a donut shop on my way to McDonald's for breakfast and got myself a huge donut!
And then I got my second flat, again it was the back wheel. But worst off my pump broke on me so I had to uber to the closest walmart to buy a new one and when I ubered back to where my bike was, some guy was throwing it into the back of his pickup truck! Luckily I got there just in time to explain that I didnt abandon it. The guy was only taking it to keep the highway clean (pretty understandable). Luckily he gave it back to me no problem. I started inflating my tire when I realized my new wallmart pump....kinda sucks.... luckily another pickup truck stopped by and Dayle offered me a lift (damn Dayle, you kick ass)! He drove me to my hotel in Saint Francisville. By the time I got to my room Ive been pretty baked by today....I've had some high ups but also some pretty heavy downs today...whatever, whatchya gona do...
(My dinner was the chicken biscuit that I forgot I bought this morning, a filet'o fish, and a Modelo).
Today I rode 30+ miles (wouldve been 57 if it werent for Dayle, he drove me the extra 21 miles). And I spent $8 on breakfast, $30 on uber, $15 on my crappy bike pump, $87 for my hotel, and $6 on dinner.

3 times Lucky today!
ReplyDelete1. Got back to disabled bike before nice man with pickup truck could haul it away - as just another piece of highway debris cluttering a beautiful Louisiana highway
2. Got a ride from Dayle when the Walmart pump refused to work and the bike had only one working wheel
3. Reached the hotel before the skies opened up with a torrential rain burst
