<strong>RUST</strong> Adventure<br />
It was hot, but that was fine - it was a nice dry heat. The routines involved<br />
in riding together were already resurfacing as we headed west, almost immediately<br />
onto dirt road. The pace was pretty fast, probably not the best way to start<br />
a three-week adventure, and with rocks becoming more frequent we did well to<br />
make it as far as mid-morning before Grant suffered the first impact puncture.<br />
It was all good fun, though. We drew tyre levers, found the best way to<br />
prop-up the bike, and got to work. Grant grimaced as Tony scratched his rim<br />
with the tyre levers…<br />
This was a 240-mile day and as we headed west we started to climb, leaving<br />
the ranch lands for the thicker birch woods of the San Isobel forest range. As it<br />
was summer our arrival in Salida at 6.30pm meant we had plenty of daylight left.<br />
The evenings ahead would allow us time to relax but on this day we changedout<br />
the bikes’ ‘running-in’ oil and did the last of the fettling. This really wasn’t<br />
such a hardship as Robyn was standing-by with cold beer, chips and dips.
