Steve brought his tube-changing skills to the annual Rio Strada pool party and barbeque placing second to Rio’s president, Ron Rouse. All this was after an epic 95-mile team ride that included 7 flats and a bee sting on Steve’s…well…right on the dot, as a younger Steve would say.

Angie Platis and Chris Husing check for pinch flats on winner, Ron’s wheel while Steve looks on.

Competitors shake hands before the final round.

Ron shows his winning…ahem…cheating skills in the tube-changing contest.
