C. Delaney passed a couple that had tools and was able to patch her front tire.
Mountain Trail Failure
by J. S. Blue
A playing card in the spokes made the most wonderful noise when Delaney was younger, but the twig stuck in her mountain bike wheel was not the sound she wanted to hear on this trail. She had missed a dip in the trail and now her front tire was going flat, and the sticks stuck in its spokes made a hideous rattle. She feared she was going to be stranded for the night, and though she had plenty of food and a pup tent, she was dreading the long hike back down carrying her bike. After nearly two hours working her way back down the trail, she was passed by a couple who quickly stopped and offered their help. The back wheel was in poor shape, but still rideable. However, the air in the front tire was quickly hissing out. Luckily, the couple had the tools to patch the tire. Delaney thanked them and gave the bike a try. It would be a slower ride than she was hoping for, but she would make it down the mountain and to a better camping site before sunset.
