WOBA “parks” in Troy
John Boughton of South Bend, IN finishes mounting a new tire on his 15-year-old Kona Africa bicycle following a blowout during Wednesday’s ride. Boughton said that while he carries spare inner tubes, he does not carry spare tires. In order to keep riding, he used a dollar bill to act as a temporary patch between tube and tire until he could obtain a new tire when he arrived in Troy on Wednesday evening. Boughton rides year-round and is participating in his 23rd GOBA/WOBA event. His bicycle has carried him some 108,700 miles.
