We were getting really greased up and being unsuccessful at getting the back wheel on when a major stroke of luck occurred - two of the premier crackerjack mechanic/tire wonks showed up (Jan Bee and Susan Rosenthal) and they had that baby on there within a minute. All in all, a 15 minute ordeal and a confidence builder for me. We cleaned up with the makeup remover that we've stashed in our tool kits from hotel rooms along the way and were ready for the party!
