A Chance Encounter

[Repack Rider]

Chris Chance, namesake of Fat Chance bikes, has moved 3000 miles west and now lives in my area. Today I dragged him out for a ride, and leaned on Joe Breeze to go with us. Along with a few other riders including Joe's son Tommy, we shredded singletrack for several hours, then drank beer and told lies for another hour.

Along the route we met a rider on a Team Fat Chance bike, and to say he was thrilled to meet Chris might be an understatement.

Here are a few photos from the ride.
