 Eamon saved my day! Early into the ride I noticed that my right
sandal had excessive lateral movement and I was unable to unclick, resulting almost in a crash. Upon closer inspection I noticed a missing
screw in the right cleat. At the first control I was pointed to a fellow named EAMON for help. Eamon told me that had everything in his
toolbox, except this kind of screw and he started calling bike shops on the route. Another, rather scruffy, fellow named DON overheard our
conversation and came up with an altruistic solution rarely observed in the wild. He retrieved his cycling shoes from his beaten up truck
and Eamon (note, he is on the phone while working – don’t try this at home) salvaged the screw for me. This was certainly not the last time
I ran into Eamon and Don and benefited from their skills and generosity. |
