2. Your tire changing tools -- if you don't have any tire levers, we can help, but you should definitely have your own before we head out on the roads.
After the maintenance clinic, there will be Desserts for Donations. Andrea will bake a carrot cake, Coach Melissa will bake something gluten free and yummy, and we might have other desserts as well. If you want to bring a dessert to donate to the cause, that would be most welcome. Any proceeds will, of course, go to the LLS.
