On second thought, I don't have a bike lock with me so maybe I'll make a separate trip unconnected to lunch.

i've got a lock, but BG is within walkable distance. Perhaps head out for lunch 10 mins before the rest of us&then catch up on the return?

...or buy the tire from Veloshop, supporting our now-local CX superstar

OK. I'll leave early. Let me know where to meet you guys.
