Last week, Dan spent a few days putting in some big rides outside of San Clemente, California. The desert is a far cry from conditions in our hometown of Traverse City, and Dan made the most of the warmth, to say the least! But between getting out his mountain bike for the first time since fall and having it shipped out west, there as one big issue. His front wheel got bent out of shape during one of the rides, which could have left our guy stranded a long ways from home. Luckily, he's got his own Scout Tool in his seat pack, and with the spoke tool, he had the spokes tighten and was back on the trail in no time.
