John S & I were taking a easy ride on PCT getting some base miles. I ended up with a flat (somethings up I got 3 more the next day) we ended up on the trail with a patch kit, tube, pump, but no 15mm wrench to get the wheel off. Were were trying the pump it up and ride as fast as you can method to get back to my house, 4 miles away. It was not working well. Keith the owner @ http://paintcreekbicycles.com/ in Lake Orion came up (on his new Black Sheep- it's sweet) and asked if we were ok. Said yes & thanks and he headed on, I called back & asked if he had a 15mm wrench, he did not and we went about patching the flat & Keith headed back toward LO. He then offered to open his shop up for us to fix the tire. His shop was 1 mile away and we accepted. Rode there on the rim & got it fixed up. A HUGE thank you to Keith & Cary @ PCB for helping us out. That's what makes biking so fun is the people rock.
