Not an offer, just a story.
I was doing repeats off the summit of Hamilton on Saturday. I had planned on moving my car from the Alum Rock turnoff after my first trip up, so that it would be closer to the fire station (up the hill from the park) and I'd have my food and gatorade close. But I never felt like going all the way down to my car so I was suffering without food. I checked to see if anyone had a bite to eat to spare at the summit, hoping someone just had something extra. If not, I could always ride back down to my car at the very base.
Nobody had extra food but someone insisted that I take $2 from him to buy some stuff from the snack machine. Best Snickers bar and peanut M&M's ever!
On my way down the hill I passed two guys who had stopped for a flat (they had everything they needed). It was funny because I had also passed them earlier on the way UP when they had another flat.
They caught up with me on my way back to my car, while climbing up the hill from the park, and asked me if I happened to have a floor pump in my car -- and yes, I did! I figured, if I'm bringing my car, I might as well be prepared. So we went back to my car where they were able to use the floor pump to top up the somewhat sketchily-inflated tires.
They were down to one tube between the two of them for the ride back to Pleasanton; the guy who had gotten the two flats (and was out of tubes by now) wanted to buy an extra off of me, but I couldn't see taking someone's money just for a tube so I gave it to him.
Happy day for everyone
