A big shout-out to the Whistler Mountain Bike Park patrol for their assistance recently. I was riding my bike in the Garbanzo Zone of the park on July 28. I had just started down Original Sin and got a rear flat tire. I always carry two spare tubes and a pump in my backpack, so I was miffed, but not that concerned.
As I was going through my pack, I discovered I didn’t have my pump with me (turns out I had forgotten it at home). As I was beginning the long push down to the Raven’s Nest building at the top of the Creekside Gondola, a patrol member on his bike passed me and suggested that I call patrol and maybe they could give me a lift in their buggy.
I made the call and a patrol member was there in minutes. He dropped me off and even lent me a pump so I could repair my flat. These guys saved me A LOT of pushing. Thank you very much to them both.
