Tuesday Tip: How to Fix a Flat
Today’s Tuesday Tip is about the upcoming Fix-a-Flat Clinic just for Mamma Jamma riders! We are now in peak training season for the 2022 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride and our friends at REI Austin-Gateway want you to know what to do if you get a flat tire on your bike while training. A flat tire can impact every rider on any surface at any time. Learn what to do if this happens to you at a special hands-on workshop led by REI’s Bike Techs exclusively for registered Mamma Jamma riders.
From start to finish, you will go through all the steps to effectively repair and replace a bike tire. Bring your own bike or practice on one of REI’s bikes. Class size is limited to 10 so that everyone gets the chance to get their hands dirty and fix a flat tire. Advanced sign-up is required to attend.
· Date: Saturday, July 23
· Time: 2pm – 4pm
· Where: REI Austin-Gateway
· Cost: Free
· Bring: Your own bike, and lots of questions
· Provided: Bike stands, tools, tubes, bike pumps
· Prerequisite: Registered for 2022 Mamma Jamma
Email Marion at mmartin@lscctx.org to sign up! Remember class size is limited to 10 participants.
Big Wig Jerseys for Ride Day
Riders who raise $1,000 or more are “Big Wigs” and get special perks like VIP parking and free massage along with the exclusive Big Wig jersey. Review the June 28 Tuesday Tip to see this year’s Big Wig jersey and for more information about Big Wig perks and deadlines.
As a special bonus for riders who reach Big Wig status early, we will place the first order of Big Wig jerseys on Thursday, July 21 for delivery in time for ride day. Marion is closely watching the fundraising numbers and will reach out to those who have already reached $1,000 or more for sizes. Several riders have already reached or exceeded $1,000 and many others are getting close.
