Jorge and Alessandra

I bought a new inner tube before leaving town. They didn’t have my size, 26×1.5, so I got 26×2.15. An hour out of town I had to make it fit. Upon inspecting the inside of the tire I finally found the source of that slow leak. A small, yet stiff, piece of wire had pierced the thrornguard strip. I needed a pliers to pull it out. I ruined the valve stem while pushing the bike with a flat tire 50m to a safe spot to change it.  Jorge and family passed me on the highway while running an errand.  He later came back to guide me to his ranch.  I would have wandered around, asking for directions to find it.
