Sancho was worried about roadside repairs in Spain, and the tour's obvious lack of mechanical abilities. A seminar was arranged at Victoria's best bicycle store, Wayne and Pam's Performance Bikes. Yasser from the Mediterranean Grocer catered dinner on the counter with traditional middle eastern specialties, including Lebanese humpback salmon, a dish responsible for much Israeli jealousy and middle eastern strife.
Tire changes, stem and headstay tuning, derailler repairs and adjustments, boxing and unpacking bikes, and a wealth of tips and suggestions were all covered over 4 hours late into the night. Pam offered deeply discounted bike clothes along with all the necessary spares and tools for the tour. Wayne imparted some useful thoughts on business, philosophy and life-lessons-learned to the assembled tour. Its no coincidence that Performance is the best bike shop in Victoria.
Sancho was pleased.
